SABBATH SERMON FOR THE WEEK Whosoever seek the Truth let him find the Truth   The son of the morning November 15, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in my love for the truth. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all from the vile hand of the son of the morning, whose mother and father is the shadow of death. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: I know the title of this sermon has bewildered some: but let the mystery of Lucifer become known to you all this Sabbath day. For it is indeed written in the book of Isaiah: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!” (Isaiah 14: 12) Who then is the son of the morning but he that it is written, which is Lucifer, that man that made the earth to tremble and the kingdoms to shake: he that made the world as a wilderness and destroyed the cities thereof because he is the shadow of death. And if Lucifer, being an evil, is son of the morning: who then is the morning? Verily I say unto you all: I reveal this Sabbath day yet another mystery of the Holy Scriptures. Let us search the Scriptures that we might find the mystery behind the son of the morning, who is also the son of perdition. It is written in Amos 5:8: “Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name”. Let us therefore know then, that, the Lord our God turned the shadow of death into morning: such is why it is written, “O Lucifer, son of the morning!” Now I know that some of you are still puzzled by these words: but the shadow of death, who is the mother and father of Lucifer, has turned into an angel of light (II Corinthians 11:14). Was this not foretold by the prophets of old, saying, “Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness” (Jeremiah 13:16). And what say the book of Job: “Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness” (Job 10:21-22). So Lucifer, who was deceived in heaven by Satan, to be born of Satan, that he become of an evil godhead, whose soul is Satan; and whose spirit is the Devil; became the birth of pure evil in human flesh. This is the image worshipped in the Catholic Church as the Virgin Mary and the baby Jesus; but is Satan (the morning) and the son of the morning. Here is wisdom: Indeed there is a negative and positive side to everything: and an opposite of everything. For that which appears to be light can be darkness: and where there is good there is also evil. So let us understand the meaning of the Scriptures: not only reading but hearing every word that is read. For the son of the morning is of an evil godhead like unto Baal, which is the opposite of our Godhead of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Lucifer, the son of the morning in the Old Testament, is described in the New Testament as he was in the Old Testament: for is it not written: “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition: Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God” (II Thessalonians 2:3-4). Know then why it is written: “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:11-12). Take heed to every word: and put on the “whole armor of God”, which is the whole gospel of Jesus Christ. Beloved hearers of this testimony for Jesus Christ in the Spirit of Prophecy: Many that were once very close to my heart has now distanced themselves from me; being swayed according to the fulfillment of the parable, which is the sower of the seed, that they obey not the command set forth. So be it then: but I am not weakened by their departure: because the Lord Jesus Christ is my strength and my salvation, which cannot depart from me unless I depart from it. For who truly walks with me, yet abide not in this testimony, which is not belonging to I, but is the last will and testament of our Lord? For I said unto you, not by my will alone, but by the power of the Spirit that is invested in me, to recite no words from any bible but the Authorized king James Version; and to claim no church but the body of an upright and holy man in the reformed Hebrew customs of Jesus Christ, which is the perfect testimony that is written before us in red letters. Yet, I hear men recite from the New International Version of the Holy Bible, which is defiled and cursed even as the New king James Version. And I hear men speak of the Baptist church as a safe haven, when only a seat in the true Church of God and Saints of Christ which is where I stand, can save a man. I boast not, but give testimony to a fact: Let no man think he is greater than I: for he that bring the Lamb’s book of life is predestinated to be conformed to the image of the Son of man, that he be the first born of many to lead many. So enter not into this website to receive my testimony in part: for he that receives in part is prey for the son of perdition. But receive the whole story of Jesus Christ, that you be not led astray as the many that were led astray by the chief priests in the days of Jesus, who fed the Scriptures to the people in part, saying, “IF there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder. And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee” (Deuteronomy 13:1-5). Those Scriptures were recited by the chief priests to convince the people that Jesus was a false prophet; even the Scripture of Isaiah 43:11; and Hosea 13:4: “Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me”: and Malachi 3:6: “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed”. So a man must therefore know the whole story of the Old Testament that he might understand the New: for if a man had known the Scriptures of Isaiah 42:6-9: “I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them”: then he would have known a New Testament was to come by reason of those Scriptures and by reason of Isaiah 11:1-10 and Psalm 89:26-36; even a new covenant by reason of Jeremiah 31:31-34. Surely if a man had known the whole word of the Old Testament and not part of the word, he would have not been deceived by his ignorance, to believe that Jesus was not the Son of God. For David said, “THE LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool” (Psalm 110:1). If the LORD spoke to my Lord, saying, Sit down at my right hand, who then is my Lord? It is also written in the Old Testament: “Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God” (Isaiah 44:6). So not only is the Lord God the first and the last; but also His redeemer the LORD of hosts. Let a man therefore understand the mystery of the Godhead, which is the Oneness of the Father and the Son, which thing was perfected on the earth by the fulfillment of the Holy Ghost. For if men had known the whole word of the Old Testament, then they would not have questioned the coming of the Son, only if Jesus was the fulfillment of that prophecy. But so-called scholars and wise men of the Scriptures knew not that the Son of God would come in the flesh. But what say the book of Psalms: “Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him” (Psalm 2:12). Most assuredly, many seek knowledge without understanding the whole word. These are those that are led into wickedness: being easy prey for the shadow of death. But the Almighty God shall not leave His people in ignorance: but has revealed the mystery of His knowledge through His servants, that no man, nor woman, neither any child might have an excuse. So we bring you the whole truth daily, that the new ear that enter into this place might hear and learn the knowledge of the truth. Indeed you should question whether or not this book in my right hand is being authentic: but in all wisdom you should know that the image and authority of the Son returns in the flesh. So in knowing the whole word that has been left for us to study: It should not be in your thoughts that a man of God will not come on the earth with the Lamb’s book of life: but whether or not the book he bring is authentic. Surely is there can be found no error according to the written word of the prophets and apostles with the direct testimony of Jesus Christ as the chief; then who has been deceived but your own mind if you do not partake of this calling. Who then shall have an excuse in the Day of Judgment when the whole truth has been revealed and made free daily for the whole world to eat? To the beloved Disciples of Truth; you who are not afraid to be openly known as a believer of this testimony: and to the beloved saints of this heavenly calling that hear and do the things according to the Seven Keys: I greet you all this Sabbath day in the love of our God; knowing that only by His grace am I saved. Let a way be made for those that seek to exit a wicked house: and for those that seek to be in the company of this holy assembly. For those who are standing beside me are sent down in the image of the Son, whose father is Christ, and whose mother is a holy place. And we are not ashamed of the ridicule, neither of the laughter, nor of the deaf ear; but pray for them anyway, though we know they cannot be saved. For they are cursed children: who from the womb was a transgressor and a liar. These are even those sitting in a place called the Church of God and Saints of Christ, but is Bethel, and the Temple of Beth-El, which is the cursed seed of Ephraim. Let no man think I cast judgment, because the truth is the judge, which is the written word of God. I have surely spoken many times, that, the days at hand are a repeat of ancient days. Not only do the Scriptures teach us such (II Peter 3:4); but this is also the knowledge of the common sense belonging to a child of God. And here is knowledge for the people in the temple of Bethel whose king is Jehu Crowdy; and whose house is the shadow of death: The son of the morning whose spirit destroy all things is in your Chief Executive, whom you call Prophet and King, but is even as king Jehu of ancient days (II Kings 10:31) and that old prophet that led the man of God astray as it is written in I Kings 13:11-26. I tell you no lie: It is no coincidence that Jehu is the name of your so-called Prophet and King; and that the Church of God and Saints of Christ is divided like unto the house of Israel and the house of Judah, to be weakened by the son of the morning, who has led many back into the way of Bethel and the ignorance of Judah. For what say the word of God in the pages of the Old Testament whom the people of the Temple Bethel put their trust: “For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live: But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought” (Amos 5:4-5). And what say the word of God concerning Judah: “And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done. For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel” (I Kings 14:22-24). So you who are led by Bishop Robert Grant are even as those who are led by Rabbi Jehu Crowdy, to walk in the shadow of death. Thus, I pray you hear and know, that I am indeed a man of God from the house of Judah as our Lord Jesus Christ also, sent forth by Him in the Spirit of His Truth, to gather the lost sheep of Israel and the repenting Gentile into the highway of righteousness, that they might be presented before the Lord in a pure and sincere heart belonging to the knowledge of the truth. So be not as the many that know the word of God in part: but of the few that know the whole word. For if men knew the whole story of things, then they would know that king Jehu of Bethel in the ancient of days did that which was good in the sight of the Lord (II Kings 10:30): but is it not also written: “But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin” (II Kings 10:31). Thus, know the whole story, that if a man feed you part, you might digest the whole. Now beloved brothers and sisters belonging to the church of the firstborn: let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Isaiah 14:5-17: and let us Read and Hear: “The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers. He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come against us. Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake the kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?” Indeed I pray that the knowledge of these words be revealed to you: even to the new ear that has entered into this place. For I am as a fisherman with no rod and carrying no bait, that seek not to capture, but to free. And here is knowledge for freedom: “Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them. They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face. In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death” (Job 24:12-17). Now of the things I have spoken this Sabbath, this is the sum: “WOE to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand” (Micah 2:1). DISCUSSION BORD ADULTERY NOVEMBER 8, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well without the filth of adultery. May the Most High God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all from the abomination of adultery, which hunts continually for precious lives, that the souls of good men and women might be destroyed by its fornication. Beloved men and women who read the testimony of this website: Jesus said: “But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery” (St. Matthew 5:32). So are we not an adulterer if we marry a divorced woman; even as we are an adulterer if we commit coition outside of our marriage? How many then among us are guilty of adultery? How many have divorced their wife or their husband because of another woman or man? How many have divorced because of this thing called “irreconcilable differences”? Surely only he that divorce his wife because of her fornication is justified: all others are adulterers; because if one cause another to commit adultery are they not also guilty of adultery? Truly there are many that are guilty of adultery: even righteous and whole-hearted men and women. But through the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ, we who partake of this heavenly calling are born again; becoming new creatures who are redeemed from sin to sin no more as our Lord so commanded. So cast away our old report, that we be judged as the new men and women that we are. For there is no vessel of flesh that has not sinned: so we all were guilty of sin at one time. But now we are made anew, being made in the image and likeness of Christ, that we walk the earth in our new existence without sin, that we become known among men as living examples. But many have fallen back into adultery; being led astray by the thoughts and feelings of flesh. These are those who seek to justify their adultery: deceiving themselves by reason of their fleshly desires. Truly, if a man in his weakness need to avoid the sights and sounds of this daily society to keep himself upright and holy, let it be so without shame: for it is better than to burn in hell. But I tell you this thing and the thing be certain: The devil know the weakness of every man and shall lay a stumbling-block for his weakness that he cannot pass by without stepping over. Therefore prepare yourself for that hour: for you will not be able to avoid the sight of your weakness before reaching the judgment seat of Christ. Thus, it will take the discipline of self to overcome the weakness of flesh: such is the true test of your spirit. For we who are saved in this world shall live upon a new earth as an existence of flesh with a new mind; yet, we still shall be subject to the thoughts and feelings of flesh, which entice men and women to a proud look, and a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, and a heart that devise wicked imaginations, and feet that are quick to run to mischief, and false witness, and discord with others. How then can we overcome, other than by the discipline of our spirit, which is the strength of God behind our strength. Let us therefore learn self-discipline in this world, that we may have discipline in the world to come. For what good is it for our soul to be saved in this world, only to lose it in the world to come? Surely we can become as hermits, that there be nothing before our eyes of flesh to entice us; but where then is the discipline beholden to a child of God? So let us open our ear to discipline, that we might learn self-discipline, to enter into places where souls might be saved. For a hermit can only save himself: we are called to save others: so the sights and sounds of temptation cannot be avoided by us. We must enter into streets like Bourbon: and into cities like Atlantic; that we might lead one from the iniquity of their ways. Here is knowledge: “He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” (Job 36:10-12). I pray you do not die without knowledge. But if these words I speak are obeyed not; because these words are belonging to God; then you shall perish by the sword belonging to God, and shall die an eternal death without knowledge. These are those that walk among us; forever learning; but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth; because they are a cursed seed that died without knowledge in ancient days and is resurrected of the same soul. Be not afraid of them, neither confused by their ignorance. For they can indeed speak with a convincing tongue in the name of Jesus Christ; but they are without knowledge, because they are without understanding of the things they speak. These are those that cannot understand the knowledge that we bring: because they died without knowledge. So in their resurrection, which is their present life, they are the same. Dear people of the earth: I pray for those who have made adultery and fornication the norm in their life, that they might repent of the filthy way and be cleansed with a new life. Indeed I know the nature of human flesh: but if we seek to be saved we cannot be found living outside the commandments of God. For the grace of Jesus Christ is not given to continue in sin: but that you be forgiven and sin no more. This thing we know in the heart; yet many allow their mind to be deceived by the desires of their flesh. So even in the name of Christ, they seek justification for their abomination by quoting Scriptures in part. But is not anything but the whole truth a lie? So he that justifies his continuation of sin is a liar: for even seventy times seven has an ending. And the forgiveness of seventy times seven did not begin with this present life; but is a continuation from your previous life that began in the days when Jesus rose from the dead. Verily if any think they are new to this world, let them think again: for he said after prophesying the end of this world: “This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled” (St. Matthew 24:34). So do you not know then, that, your life is a continuation from ancient times? How then can you be forgiven seventy times seven in this present life alone? So do not deceive yourselves into justifying adultery or any manner of sin in the name of grace: for when Jesus appears, if we are not like him, we shall not be received by him. So learn the whole truth, that you be not found when he come in part. For when perfect come, then that which is in part shall be done away. So if you are in part, will you not also be done away? I tell you this thing and the thing be certain: The Lamb’s book of life is the whole truth: for many have tried and failed to reproof this testimony of mine but cannot: because according to Scripture it is indeed undisputable truth. So they continue to speak with part of the Scriptures; even honoring the words of another over the words of Jesus Christ himself, that they might persuade one from knowing the whole truth. But as it is written: “And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life” (Revelation 21:27); so shall it be. Surely those that are found in adultery will not enter into the kingdom of God. So I pray for you dearly, that if you be an adulterer, repent, and confess your abomination to God with a sincere heart, and he shall hear you, and grant His mercy and forgiveness upon you that you might sin no more. Repent I pray: for you know not the hour when the mercy and forgiveness of God shall depart from the earth. Be therefore wise: and be found of a sincere heart in search of knowing the whole truth, that you be upright and holy in the knowledge of the truth. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Proverbs 6:16-33: and let us Read and Hear: “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. And heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief. A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. For by means of as whorish woman a man brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away”. Amen. Now of the things I have spoken this Sabbath, this is the sum: “Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God” (I Corinthians 6:9-10). And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD THE HOUSE OF MOURNING NOVEMBER 1, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well on this first day of the eighth month in the third year of my ministry. May the Only Wise God, the Lord God Israel, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may not one of us be found in the house of mourning, which is the house of those that were confident and bold in their testimony against this website, to obey not, neither to give an ear; but made themselves stiff-necked that they might not hear, nor receive instruction: these are both Jews and Gentiles; both black and white; both kin and stranger. These are those that have scorned my testimony: foolishly speaking against the Holy Ghost. These are those that from the beginning said, Nothing will become of this website. These are those who sat on the fence; afraid to be known among us, for fear they be ridiculed. These are those that called us delusional: believing assuredly that we were self-appointed as sons of God. These are those that called us a cult; being certain that our way is not the right way. These are those that are from both sides of Prophet William Saunders Crowdy tabernacle: being resurrected from among the wickedness of Ephraim and the foolishness of Judah; to deny me my place that the Lord has given. Yea for sure, all of these shall surely mourn in their houses, in the day of their calamity, which is nigh: because the Lord shall show them His back and not His face: because they turned their back to His faithful servants who gave their testimony not for their own sake; but for the sake that others might be saved by the sacrifice of their blood which is shed for the remission of sins. Beloved few yet many around the world that read daily the testimony of this church, I salute you all this holy Sabbath day in the knowledge of the truth. Let no flesh of man think that he is omitted from the grace and love of God: for the arms of God are open to the European, and to the Asian, and to the Indian, and to the Hispanic, and to the African, and to the Arab, and to the Jew. Surely whosoever come unto Him, He shall receive. But many come not, because the truth is against their will. These are those that will accept God only in the image that they seek: who then are they but unbelievers at heart. For we know that Jesus had a flesh; thus an image. And we know that according to Scripture, his image is that of a black man. For Jesus was so a Jew: and we know that the aboriginal Jews according to history and Scripture are black people. So why should men turn from the image of God except they refuse to accept God as He is: and if they refuse to acknowledge that Jesus Christ in flesh was a black man, why then should we accept their lie of Jesus being a so-called white man? Be not mistaken by the testimony I bring this Sabbath day: for the Spirit of Jesus Christ is in all flesh: so he appears as a so-called white man, and a black man, and an Asian, and an Indian, and a Hispanic, and an African, and an Arab. He appears as all because he is in all. But do not try to change his aboriginal image, that you might be able to accept him. For unless you love him as he began; how can you love him at the end when he change not? For surely he is the beginning and the end: and as he was in the beginning; so shall he be also in the end. For it is surely written: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8). Do those words not pertain to all things of Jesus Christ, as well as his doctrine? Verily you are the judge: and the cause of your own destiny. But can a man go wrong in every footstep of Jesus Christ? Nay: unless he substitute a step of Jesus Christ for his own: then shall he be led away into various and strange doctrines though he believe he is still in the right path. But how can a man be in the right path when he takes the slightest detour from the footsteps of Jesus Christ? Truly he cannot find salvation at his end though his heart is true in the Lord: he must surely backtrack and continue in every footstep that Jesus Christ left for us a guide to salvation. Therefore, let no man think he knows a shortcut to the gates of heaven: for what man is wiser than Jesus Christ? And who is greater than Jesus Christ to show us a better way? Yea for sure, we know that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life; and that no man can come unto God but by him. Indeed: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever”. So no longer follow that which is in part: for perfect has come: and that which is in part is abolished. Beloved readers of this holy testimony: Yea for sure the Jews of nature and birth in the true name of Jesus Christ are the first-fruits of God: But will not the Gentiles be saved also to be among the precious fruit? Though the Gentiles come from the seed of a heathen and a liar: is it not written: “O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD” (Jeremiah 16:19-21). For sure, the Gentiles shall know the Lord: some shall repent and become as a Jew by nature to be saved; but most shall be as the house of mourning, whose house shall cover the whole earth in that day when our honor is reaped because its harvest is ripe. So continue to ignore us as you do: and deny us as you have: for prophecy cannot be changed: so why should we be discouraged? We are not: but patiently wait for retribution in the patience of a saint. For we know that the things in the old testament foretold of the things in the new: and we know that the things in the new testament foretold of the things at hand. So why should we be surprised by the things that are before us? Surely we know that the Revelation of Jesus Christ must be fulfilled: even the prophecy of the prophets. So as I come before men in the embodiment of the Holy Ghost, being raised from the seed of a Hebrew, am I not a witness to the conspiracy found among the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem? And if one should ask, What is the conspiracy this day? Is it not the same as in the ancient of days? Those who call themselves Jews, but are Greeks. Is it not also those in the church of my fleshly baptism that deny me my place by reason of an old report? Is it not those in the Temple Beth El that has led many away from the teachings of Prophet William Sanders Crowdy, to continue in the ways of Ephraim under the name of the Church of God and Saints of Christ? Is it not a conspiracy to hoodwink the minds of many? But as it is written: “They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them” (Jeremiah 11:10-11): so shall it be. Surely these are the souls of Israel that shall be cast into the house of mourning: and as it is written: “Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble” (Jeremiah 11:14): so let it be. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Jeremiah 16:1-13: and let us Read and Hear: “THE word of the LORD came also unto me, saying, Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place. For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land; They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even lovingkindness and mercies. Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them: Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother. Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink. For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride. And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God? Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law; And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me: Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour”. Amen. Now we, O children of Israel, know that the Lord our God delivered us from out of our own land into slavery in a foreign and unknown land, which was the Babylonian captivity. And we know that the days came when the Lord returned the children of Israel to the land that He had given unto our fathers, when king Cyrus of Medo-Persia conquered the Babylonian empire. But now we are cast from out of our own land again to re-live the old testament: but shall we return to the land of old as prophesied in the old testament? Verily we shall not return to the land of old because of the new testament, which is Jesus Christ. Here is wisdom: “For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ” (II Corinthians 3:11-14). He that has understanding let him understand: and he that seek understanding let him ask and he shall receive. So brothers and sisters of mine: lament not for the land of old, which is the hub of a great conspiracy hiding the identity of the true Jews. But prepare yourselves for an exodus from that place; because it shall surely become a house of mourning, beginning with the loosening of the third seal, which is nigh. So you who were planning to migrate to the land of old, cancel your plans: and you who are on your way, turn around: and you that are already there, prepare to leave. For the angels of the Lord shall pour the vials of famine, and pestilence, and terror over all that land that no man, nor woman, neither any child be left standing with a breath of life. And if any seed of Israel is left in that place, it is left because of foolishness. Therefore pray not for that seed which is rotten; neither cry for the lives of their youth: because they have cast their own selves into the house of mourning. And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD The god of this world October 25, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in my power which is greater than the power of the god of this world. For my power come not by the strength of my own hand: but from the Almighty God whose power is greater than them all. May the Lord our God and the Holy One of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all receive power to overcome the god of this world whose name is written on the United States of America: and whose works are from the hand of the Devil and his Satan. Beloved children of God: The god of this world is not our God; neither is the god of this world a legitimate rival to our God: but is even a servant of our God. For our God is Ruler of All: both Life and Death: both Heaven and Hell. He is the Most High God: for the whole earth is His footstool. So I pray that none of you are deceived by the god of this world, whose power come from the illusions of Satan; for her power is indeed a temporary thing and a fake. For do we not know, being loyal servants of the Most High, that the god of this world is given power that we might appreciate the power that is given to us through the gift of Jesus Christ? Surely if we neglect the power that is given unto us by prophecy, we cannot overcome the lure and temptations from the god of this world who send forth daily an abundance of seducing spirits filled with the doctrines of devils in the name of Jesus Christ: these are the sons and daughters of men that speak lies in the name of truth; being hypocrites, vile deacons, and wayward pastors. These are those that have made a covenant with death and an agreement with hell, that when the god of this world rise up with her sword to inflict world-wide genocide, it shall pass over them, because they have made lies their refuge, and under falsehood have they hid themselves with the prayers that are an abomination. These are cursed children that cannot learn the way of salvation: but are sent up from out of Hades that they might seduce the very elect if it were possible: because the God of heaven and earth seek to separate the just from the unjust, and the weak from the strong, that judgment be cast according to the work of the flesh and the spirit. For we know that our God know already those that are just and unjust; and those that are weak and strong: so He has no need for trials and tribulation to determine the worthy. But this thing is not done for His sake; but so that men might learn for themselves: that, they, might prove themselves worthy to their own eyes. For what good is it to a man if I know what he can do, but he himself do not know what he can do? Moreover, this thing is done to prepare a man to live in flesh without sin, that, that, which seem impossible become known as possible. For our Lord Jesus Christ overcame the god of this world, which is the ruler of mortal flesh, to live a sinless life in flesh, that his footsteps be left as an example for us: How then can we enter the kingdom of heaven in sin? The god of this world which bathes every second of every day in filth has convinced many that living a sinless life in this world is impossible; so men justify their sinful life under the name of grace; believing that the exhortation of Christ name alone will bring salvation. Is that not like believing that faith without work is equal to faith and work: and spirit without truth equal to spirit and truth? Truly I say unto you all in the Spirit of truth that has sent me, that, few there be who understand the written word. For the clear gospel of Christ is hidden to many because the god of this world has blinded the minds of many, for fear they see the truth and repent from the doctrines of devils, whose vanguard is Christianity. And some that are upright in knowledge have blinded themselves to the light of the perfect testimony because of their pride: and because of their fear of the god of this world. These are the stubborn and stiff-necked, of which many in Jerusalem (Washington, DC) and Israel (America) are made of; even the fearful that shall have their part in the lake of fire. Dear children of Israel: Need I not say again that this land known on the earth as America is Israel: and that those who the world call Jews are not; but instead is the synagogue of Satan: and that the land the world call Israel is not; but a land that shall surely vanish as the old covenant has vanished. I do not say these words without the knowledge that many of the upright and holy have migrated to the Holy Land of old in preparation for the Second Advent: but be not taken away by your ignorance that your pride rise up against the truth: for I have not spoken out of Scripture. And if a man seek further understanding, let him read the Sermon from Jerusalem in the Archives of this website. But to those who welcome the knowledge of the truth, I send greetings and grace this Sabbath to all that kept the fast of the seventh month: not being weakened by the god of this world to faint before the end of days. For how can any fall short in these days, yet endure greater trials and tribulation to come? Do not fool yourselves: for the discipline of God, which is a sinless life in mortal flesh, involves daily training, which is the renewing of the inward man day by day. For the process of changing overnight does occur overnight; but not without trial and error, which must surely come first. Such is why Jesus was born among us, but did not appear before us until about the age of thirty. Truly, at the age of twelve, he had insight to his calling: but his calling did not begin until the age of about thirty: and the fullness of his ministry was not perfected until the age of thirty-three, which was his rising on the third day. Know therefore then, that, we must practice with sincerity to avoid sin before we can gain the discipline to live a sinless life: only then can we be crowned with eternal life. So let us not deceive ourselves to believe that we can continue in sin till the last moment and then call on Christ name for forgiveness; because the hour come when mercy shall depart from the earth: how then can a man be saved from eternal damnation? Dear children in search of the love that is God: None shall find the understanding of His love without the knowledge of His wisdom. I pray you hear these words and receive understanding that you be not found among the many herds of fools and asses that carry the name of Christ to eternal damnation; because they carry his name without the truth of his name. How then can you know him to recognize his Spirit when it is presented before you? Truly I am left to repeat my words many times over for the sake of the new ear, that the new ear might have a chance to receive life. But I beseech no man, nor woman, neither any child to accept this testimony that I bring in the name of Jesus Christ: for those who are called in the Spirit that is truth will hear my testimony and speak not against this calling. Those who believe and know the truth: let them meditate on these words: “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee” (I Timothy 4:16). Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to II Corinthians 4:1-18: and let us Read and Hear: “THEREFORE seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal”. Amen. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine in the glorious love of our Lord Jesus Christ: There is much I can say this Sabbath day regarding the god of this world: but the testimony I have given and the Holy Scriptures I have recited is enough for acceptance. Whosoever has entered into this place has freed themselves from the wickedness of the god of this world: and whosoever continue in the doctrine that is given has power over the things of human flesh, that the life of Jesus Christ be manifested in their mortal flesh, that their daily walk be a sinless life and the end of their days eternal life. I Cornelius, one like unto you and called from among you, pray for you all in the love of you all. May the grace of God be with you All. Amen. THE DRAGON OCTOBER 18, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well though I stand in the midst of the dragon known as a man, but is leviathan, that crooked serpent in the sea of men that rive their flesh and seduce their hearts. May the Most High God, the Lord our God, the God of Israel, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He deliver us all from the iron teeth of the great red dragon whose spirit is reserved to inhabit the flesh of a Pope to come; even the flesh of a President. This is the beast that is filled with great anger and hate for the saints of Christ, who will make war on them, and overcome them, according to the fulfillment of prophecy (Revelation 13:1-18). But though the saints must be slain by the power of this great and awful dragon that is cast from out from heaven, we shall not taste the bitterness of death, because the death of a saint in this world is life for the Messianic Age, which is the fulfillment of our promise and hope in Jesus Christ. Beloved children of God: Are we not prepared for the things to come? Do we not know the hour at hand? If a man has entered into this website, do he not know that I am sent to prepare the saints for the evil to come, which are the last days of this world? We who are called from out of heaven to give our testimony for Jesus Christ in the Spirit of Prophecy have no time to waste: for our work is much and our days are short. And as we prepare our brothers and sisters for the things to come, which were first testified by the prophets of old, then by our Lord Jesus Christ himself; we pray for all souls; even the soul of the dragon: for even he is deserving of our love. But let us not pity him: nor be found at his table at anytime: because wisdom is greater than love my friends. So though we bless those that curse us; and love those that hate us; in the non-violence that is the peace of God which surpass all human understanding; we are not made fools by reason of our love; because our wisdom overshadows our love that we fulfill the knowledge that is written by our beloved brother John: “If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds” (II John 10-11). This is an example from the Scriptures of how wisdom must overshadow love: because love without wisdom is foolishness. God is love: but is God not wisdom first? Surely we must first receive wisdom to know love: because there is not a limit to how many we can love: but there is a limit to how much we can love. For is it not written that we should love not the world, neither the things that are in the world (I John 2:15)? And did our Lord Jesus Christ not say: “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me” (St. Matthew 10:37). Know therefore then, that, our love in this world for things and people has a limit. And how can we know that limit without the wisdom that is God? Beloved brothers and sisters: I trust you receive these words in the truth that it is given; that you may walk in clear understanding of the Scriptures; that in the evil days which are nigh, you be not shaken and taken away by the dragon who is the son of perdition, who oppose and exalt himself above all that is true of God, that he sit even in the temple of God showing himself as God. And if one should ask, How can the dragon sit in the temple of God? I say unto him and all in question, Do we not know that the temple of God is heaven? And do we not know that the dragon (the Devil) and his angels are in heaven; even his Satan and their angels? For it is surely written in the book of Revelation: “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” (Revelation 12:7-9). So who then is the great dragon that is cast out into the earth? Is he not a Pope, the keeper of Christianity (Christian-Satanism), who gives power to the beast that come from out of the sea of men to stand before the earth as a President? Bow not thyself to the dragon, whose power is over your flesh. For if any be led by the flesh, then are they taken by the dragon, to serve him and to fear his bite. But we are not led by our flesh and fear none but our God: because He alone is able to destroy both flesh and soul in hell. What effect then can the dragon have on us? Nay: he has no effect: because his power is only an illusion to the spiritual eye of truth, which sees beyond that which is actuality and flesh. Verily the power of this Pope that shall stand before the whole world in the boldness of telling lies are the works of a master magician and the art of a skilled illusionist: And many, both young and old, by the millions, shall follow after this Pope, who looks and sounds like a man, but is leviathan, the great red dragon, that shall deceive the whole world with the falsehood of Christianity. These are herds of fools and asses which are people of no understanding, that shall be set on fire by sirens that are the daughters of the great red dragon . Beloved assembly of this heavenly calling known as the Lamb’s book of life: Throughout the days of my ministry I have given you the knowledge of the regeneration, which is the re-living of the Ancient of Days, which is both Sodom and Egypt rising again. These things are now at hand in this land men call America, but is Vespucci: and in this city men call the District of Columbia, but is Egypt. For why is an Egyptian pyramid found on the back of the American dollar bill? And why is the Washington Monument a replica of the obelisk of ancient Egypt? Truly, a President of the United States is a Pharaoh in the eye of truth. And what say the Scriptures: “Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt: Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself” (Ezekiel 29:2-3). And here is the mystery of the sea: Each sea represents a continent: so as there are seven continents, so are there also Seven Seas. Therefore know then that when you read in the Scriptures that a beast come from out of the sea, he come from out of the sea of men which is a continent. And here is the mystery of the rivers: “All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again” (Ecclesiastes 1:7). Dearly beloved advent readers of this ministry: As I have given you knowledge of the regeneration, that you might know the ancient of days are being repeated before you now, many cannot see neither hear this truth. So I speak these words without my own tongue; but in the tongue of Ecclesiastes, that they might hear the written word: “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Is that not clear Scripture that the days of old are repeated? Know therefore that my tongue at no time in the Church of God is of my own; but of our Lord: For He alone has risen me up to stand before the dragon without fear: and in the knowledge that is wisdom and truth. So I call out unto you all in the Spirit of Truth that guide me; and with the sword that shall give a deadly wound to the beast whose name is America: Fear not the dragon that cometh to make war on the saints: for though he shall have power to overcome us, that he slay our flesh; he cannot touch our soul, which is given to the promise of eternal life. So be not shaken by his presence: but stay upright and holy in the peace of God: because as it is written: “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17); so shall it be. Why then should we fear the hurt that the dragon can bring to our flesh when our flesh is dead already? For we that are children of God in the habitation of flesh live not by our flesh, but by our spirit, that our flesh be the blood for the remission of our sins. For we were first given Jesus Christ as a sacrifice for our remission: but what now is our sacrifice since we have fallen into sin again? Is it not our own blood as a child of God, whose honor is bestowed upon us by our Lord Jesus Christ? Verily, verily, I say unto you all: The death of a saint in this world is life for the Messianic Age. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to the book of Isaiah 27:1-12: and let us Read and Hear: “IN that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him? In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy of them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel”. And let the people say, Amen. Beloved: I tell you this thing and the thing is certain: It is better if a man had not known me before he heard my testament, than to have known me and then heard my testament. For he that you knew before is dead: and what you thought you knew of me, you did not. For those who have been in my company find it harder to believe in my testimony, than those who have never laid eyes of flesh upon me. But wisdom is the presence of God: and wisdom is justified of all her children as our Lord Jesus Christ so said. So believe me or believe me not: for I am indeed sent to all though I will not be received by all. Nevertheless, I will be received by the children of the elect. Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE SABBATH SERMON OCTOBER 11, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well on this day of the Lord’s rest. May the Lord God of Israel and the Holy One of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may they bless us all according to the mercy of their Name. Dear brothers and sisters of mine: I greet you all this Sabbath day in the hope that is Jesus Christ, that every one of you might receive the salvation of his promise. For we who are called in his name are called to endure the longsuffering that is given to us that we might prove ourselves worthy of his crown that is life: for it is a shame to faint in his name. So we faint not: because though our flesh is made weary by the nature of its existence, our spirit is not: because we are not born of flesh, but of spirit; to walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. For we are without doubt born of the Holy Spirit by reason of the new birth bestowed upon us by the grace of our Lord that we be made like unto him to live as he live: for our calling is reserved for the elect of God that we may gather the lost sheep of Christ. Such is the fulfilling of our purpose: and knowing one’s self leads to knowing one’s purpose; and knowing one’s purpose leads to fulfilling one’s life. Beloved children of God: I preach to you not in part as our brethren Paul preached in part; but in the perfect testimony of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the prophecy of time be fulfilled. So I come before you not with opinions; neither with my own understanding: thus take heed to every word that I speak before this general assembly: for such is the voice of a heavenly calling, whose spirit is not Cornelius, but one born from Jesus Christ. Truly, I need not speak another word in the Church of God concerning the truth of Christ: for the gift of his message has been fulfilled: and a matter of record is left to be studied day or night. So I lessen my words in these days, but continue in my labor for Jesus Christ, that one might hear through the lies and see through the clouds that eclipse truth, that they might enter into the knowledge of the truth and be saved. To many I am a delusional man: but if the truth is in you, then you know that which I speak of Jesus Christ is true: how then can I be delusional? Surely there is no confusion in the truth of Jesus Christ: But if a man were to teach in part without giving testimony to teaching in part, then there is confusion in that man. But who taught of Christ in part without giving testimony that their teaching was in part? Surely Paul preached in part; but he also gave testimony that he knew and prophesied in part (I Corinthians 13:9): even also that he ministered the New Testament according to the spirit and not the letter (II Corinthians 3:6). These things that are clearly written in the Scriptures that men might have understanding have been made known to the readers of this website: and are bestowed as a matter of record in the archives. If a man is truly in search of the truth, he shall find that which he seek in this place. For I am not made an able minister of the New Testament according to the spirit, or the letter; but according to the spirit and the letter, which is the perfect testimony of Jesus Christ. And as it is written: “But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away” (I Corinthians 13:10); so is that time at hand. For I am not called in vain: neither are the many advent readers of this website. For we know the truth; and are called in the knowledge of the truth; given a new birth, which is of God. For we know that if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, and the old things are passed away (II Corinthians 5:17). And if this new birth is given to a man, is it not also given to a woman? Thus, if a whore be converted to the life of Jesus Christ, is she not a new creature, and the old things passed away, that all things become new? Yea for sure: she is a new creature, and the old things have passed away, and all things have become new as it is written. Therefore, even her vagina is made new, that even she be known as a virgin. This is the secret of another mystery, which sheds light on the thing known on the earth as the Immaculate Conception. He that has understanding let him understand: and he that seek understanding let him ask the Church and he shall receive the understanding that he seek. And if one should say, Where is the Church? I say, It is the body of Christ, whose tabernacle is planted in this place by the power of his hand. Dear children of truth: I have set before you things to enlighten your understanding, that you receive nothing in part. For we who are called to partake of this heavenly calling from the Church of the first born are called into the fullness of Christ body, that there be no room for doubt, neither any guile in the vessel of our new birth. So let us be according to the nature of our birth, which is the footsteps of a righteous man that we fulfill our purpose which is to present ourselves before the world as examples of Christ footsteps. For he alone is our high priest, whose word is a discerner of men thoughts and the intentions of their heart. So all things are naked and opened to his eyes as it is written. For there is nothing done in the dark that Christ cannot see, neither any secret thought that he cannot hear. So what are the unpunished thoughts and work of wickedness but that which is reserved for the Judgment of Christ? So be wise and repent before it is too late, that you be brought before the throne of grace, to be given a new birth. For as it is written: “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (St. John 3:3-7); so be it. For sure, everyone must be born again, that we become a new creature, without the sins of flesh, that we may enter the fullness of Christ body without being vomited out. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to I Peter 1:13-25: and let us Read and Hear: “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you”. And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE FOOTSTEPS OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN OCTOBER 4, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the footsteps of a righteous man. May the Most High God; the Lord God of Israel; heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all in the footsteps of one that is righteous and holy still. Dearly beloved men and women of this general assembly: I know the challenges that we all face each day in keeping our footsteps in the way of Christ: but if we walk in the reverent fear of our God, we shall obtain the strength to overcome the weakness of our flesh which seeks to led us daily from the footsteps of Christ perfection with worry, and the fear of man, and the pleasures of forbidden things. But be not weakened by the things of flesh to go astray: for if our footsteps are removed from the way of the Lord, then our life is subject to tasting the bitterness of death, which is reserved for the ungodly. For can any man, not in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, be in the footsteps of a righteous man? Nay for sure: for righteousness is reserved for the fullness of Christ body, which is abiding in his true and holy doctrine. But many are left wondering, What is the true doctrine of Jesus Christ? because of the multiple interpretations that have been spread by men. These are the interpretations not inspired by God, but interpreted by the spirit of men; whether it be the spirit of not knowing, or the spirit of confusion, or the spirit of deceit. For the spirit of men is unknowing of God; because that spirit is born of man and not of God. Even so also, are there left many wondering, What is the true doctrine of Jesus Christ? because of the many versions of the Holy Bible that have been published by men. These are the Scriptures not inspired by God, but translated by the unclean spirit of man, that the subtle changes from their translation might go unnoticed that good-hearted people might be deceived by the seemingly easier reading. These are the bibles known as the New International Version; even the New King James. But I preach to you this day as I have preached to you before: The only Holy Bible (both the Old and the New Testament) inspired by God for translation from its Original Tongues is the Authorized King James Version. Such, is the perfect testimony of our Lord. What then can be added or taken away from that which is perfect? Indeed my brothers and sisters: Many say that I am adding to the perfect testimony of Jesus Christ: But I am not adding by reason of my testimony: but fulfilling the prophecy? Verily, if a man can find no flaw in my testimony using the written Scriptures for reproof, and correction, and instruction, then is my testimony not perfect; even that which is new to your ears? And if my testimony is perfect, God made it so, that the man of God be perfect, and the death of Christ be not in vain. For I am but the first among equals in this generation: fulfilling the word that is written in Romans 8:29: “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren”. Indeed I am called to gather my brethren that are also called to be justified, and then glorified in the true name of the Lord, that all who hear our testimony and repent be saved. For our steps are directed by the Lord: and as it is written: “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way” (Psalms 37:23); so be it. Dear brothers and sisters of mine: If we pray daily; in the morning, and at noon, and at night; we increase our strength and our blessings in the patience of a saint, that we become known to the earth as Overcomers; that we be set before men as examples of true faith. For the Lord know the feelings and thoughts of flesh, which causes double-mindedness and the heart to deceive. Such is why God has appointed a messenger of the same flesh, with the same feelings and thoughts, that the messenger might be an example for us to learn the way to overcome the nature of our sinful flesh, that we enter and stay in the footsteps of a righteous man. For we who are called to be glorified through our Christ can preach no greater sermon than for a man to stay in the righteous steps of Jesus Christ: for we have not set our own footprints in His name: but have taken each step in the footprints that He left for us as a guide, which is the written Word, of which the red letters are the chief. REMISSION SEPTEMBER 27, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well. May the Most High God and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the remission of our sins which come from their love and grace, be not in vain. For many have indeed been given remission, which came first by the blood of Jesus Christ, that they might become new creatures, whose heart is dedicated to the ways of Christ. But some have taken their remission for granted: to wallow in sin without the spirit of conviction, which is the consciousness of guilt for wrongdoing. These are those that have made their gift of remission vain: being like unto them that were spoken by our Lord in the gospel of St. Matthew: “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” (St. Matthew 15:8-9). Indeed, it is the heart of men that attempt to justify their sins, that, they may continue in sin and be righteous and holy still in their eyes. But we know that our Lord told us to sin no more (St. John 8:11). But if a righteous man should fall into sin, his guilt of committing a sin will overcome the pleasure from his sin because of the spirit of conviction in him. This is a man that has not lost honor with God because of the sincerity in his heart to live a sinless life. So the Lord will hear his supplication: and will answer him with the tenderness of His mercy that his sin be forgiven and his body washed. But this blessing is not given for a man to take advantage of: for to do such would be the work of one without a sincere heart to live a sinless life. What then is that man, but one who call on the name of Christ in vain. For we know that our Lord Jesus Christ search the reins and the hearts and do judge the heart to give unto every one according to their work (Revelation 2:23): and we know that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9). But if we are pure in heart, which is the acceptance of the truth, then we shall see God as it is written (St. Matthew 5:8). Beloved brothers and sisters of this general assembly: I have committed no sin before the eyes of God since the birth of this ministry; neither have I tainted my holiness in any way. Thus, think not that I have fallen short of God’s glory since the 31st day of the third month in the year 2001 of the Gentile calendar. For the hour of the lamentation that you read in the Vessels sermon only a few Sabbaths ago has not yet risen: I spoke it now that you might know the things to come: and that you might not honor the flesh of one sent from God but their spirit: because the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. So I stand before you as our brother Ysmael stands before you as an example of a sinless life, that you might hear our counsel and be perfected in Jesus Christ. For we both, like you, have struggled to reach our cloud; falling short of God’s glory many times. But in our persistence, which is our love for God, to walk after the manner of His Christ, we have reached a sinless life in flesh, that we might be examples for you all to receive our counsel and become like us. Think not that a man in this world cannot live a sinless life: for we are not made whole by the remission of our sins to continue in sin but to sin no more. For it is surely written: “Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee” (St. John 5:14). So what awaits the man or the woman that continue in sin after remission? For if he that has given us remission, say unto us, Sin no more: is that not a commandment? How then can a man justify a life of sin? Surely a pure heart is seeking perfection in the way of the Lord, that every footstep be in the way of Christ. So we of a pure heart know that perfection come not by the birth of flesh but by the birth of spirit: because even our Lord Jesus Christ was not perfected until he rose the third day. So are we not subject then to fall short until we are born again by the Spirit that raise us from death, which is the baptism of a sincere heart dedicated to obeying the way of Christ, whom we know as the Holy Ghost, that our flesh be presented faultless before the presence of His glory? Verily I say unto you as it is written: “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22). He that has understanding let him understand. And he that seek understanding let him ask and he shall receive. Now I know those words that I have spoken this Sabbath, saying, Jesus was not perfected until the rising of the third day, have puzzled some; and have made many disagree vehemently: But I speak not with my own words; neither with my own understanding. For it was so spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ himself when certain of the Pharisees said unto him to get out and depart because Herod would kill him: “Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected” (St. Luke 13:32). Know therefore that we are not perfected by the birth of our flesh: but when we are born of God through the knowledge of the truth to fear Him, that no sin be found in us because of the wholesomeness of Christ spirit that has given birth to us that we be born of water and of the Spirit. For when one is born from out of the womb of flesh they are born of sin because the flesh is sin: But when one is born from out of the womb of the Spirit they are born without sin because the Spirit is without sin. We who are called into the holiness of Christ priesthood are born of Spirit, whose Spirit is Truth, and whose Truth is every word of our Lord that is written in the Full Gospel. For this we know: “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope” (Romans 15:4). And it is also written: “Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity” (II Timothy 2:19). These words I have preached unto you many times in the Sermon Archives: but I preach them again for the sake of the new ear, of which many enter into this place daily. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. Luke 24: 36-47: and let us Read and Hear: “And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them. And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem”. Beloved: I Cornelius, your brethren and your fellow-servant of Christ, called from out of sin to bring forth this ministry of redemption and truth; hereby give testimony for Jesus Christ in the Spirit of Prophecy, that no race of people are omitted from the kingdom of God. For the Lord has called both the Asian and the Hispanic; both the Indian and Arab; both the European and the African; and of course the Jew into His house of prayer, which is the body of an upright and holy man. For the remission of sins is granted from our Lord to all who seek forgiveness with a sincere heart, that their heart be purified from the deceit and wickedness of flesh, to bring forth the offering of a sinless life and the tithes that is laboring for the truth. For we know that God dwell not in temples made with man’s hands (Acts 17:24); neither is worshipped with men’s hands (Acts17:25). What then are the tithes and offerings that God seek? Is it not from His church, which is not made from men’s hands, but is the body of an upright and holy man in the Hebrew customs of Jesus Christ, which is the fullness of Christ body? And do we not enter that Church first by the remission of our sins to receive the true doctrine of our Lord, that we present a sinless life as our offering to Him; and the tithes of laboring for the truth, which is studying the word of the Lord and sharing the knowledge of His truth to the ignorant and the unwise, that they might receive remission by baptism of the Holy Ghost. But what are the offering and tithes of any man, if the doctrine of that man is not of Christ. Verily I say unto you all: Repent from the falsehood of Christianity: for the true doctrine of Jesus Christ was spoken from the mouth of Jesus Christ: “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews” (St. John 4:22). On that Scripture alone do I stand in the doctrine of the Lord Jesus Christ. But let no Jew say that an un-repenting Gentile shall not be saved: for some Jews shall not be saved as all who deny the true doctrine of Christ shall not be saved. But if you take hold of this doctrine that we bring according to the red letters of Jesus Christ, you shall receive the remission of your sins, and be blessed of a pure heart, that your end will be the everlasting sight of God. And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD SEPTEMBER 20, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well on my road trip, which has taken me this Sabbath to the city of Atlantic; and into the gates of Babylon; that the truth of Christ name be shared with at least one that reside in those places. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed to bear witness to the presence of His Holy Spirit. Dearly beloved: I have come unto you with all things; leaving nothing behind; that none be found without. Yet as men draw closer to the truth, many sit in doubt: finding it hard to believe that I am the bearer of the Lamb’s book of life; because they look upon my flesh and not my spirit. Yea as I walk in the perfect law of liberty, which mystery I have revealed in sermons past, I am not known by my flesh; but by my words, and by my actions. So what proving is there left for me? The skeptics will always be skeptics: the unbelievers will never truly believe: and the doubters will always have doubt. So who am I preaching to each Sabbath day?; but those that are called to inherit the truth, because of the righteousness of their soul, which is reserved in the Lord. For many are indeed praising the word of Christ without knowing his name: and many appear to be wise in Christ but are fools of flesh: and many think they have life but do not. And in their double mindedness, they say, Who I am to judge? I judge nothing; because the truth is the judge of all things. And if you believe in Jesus Christ, then you know the Holy Bible is the truth. And if the Holy Bible is the truth, then show me where I AM IN ERROR; that I might be corrected and my soul saved. For if you are a servant of Christ, then do Christ work, and correct men of their error, that they might learn the way that is undefiled, which is every word of Jesus Christ. If I am wrong in my understanding, Leave me not on an island that I be lost among the heathens; and left to dwell in the confusion of my own mind. I beseech no man to hear my testimony: but I beseech every one of you to correct me if I am wrong. But do not correct me with the Old Testament when I bring you the New Testament: and do not correct me with the words of an apostle when I show you the words of Jesus Christ himself. So if I am not in error according to the written word, how then can you be correct if your way is not the same? So I love you as I love myself, that I might save you who are in error from the island of heathens; and from the confusion of your own mind; that you might be born of God in the love of truth of his only begotten Son, the Holy One of Israel, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Dear children: I seek nothing from you but an open ear: not that I might sway you; but that you might hear with an open mind and judge for yourself. For many have surely come in the name of Jesus Christ and have deceived many: but the elect cannot be deceived. So I speak for a select few, being those of esoteric, because those of truth are called to inherit truth. Verily, the parable of the sower of the seed cannot be changed: why then should I waste the precious time of the Lord on deaf ears. Jesus came to call men to the truth: I am sent by him to speak the truth that the souls of truth that walk in flesh might hear their calling and know that time is at hand. Dear children of the earth: The Lord is given to all men that all flesh might be saved. For the Most High God so love the seed of the Latino, and the Asian, and the Indian, and the African, and the European, and the Arab, and the Jew; that every seed of human flesh inherit a mansion in His house. But your way is not God’s way if your way is not strict in His commandments. For He did not say, Thou shalt try not to have other gods before me: But that thou shalt not have other gods before me. He did not say, Thou shalt try not to commit adultery: But that thou shalt not commit adultery. The way of justifying sin is the way of imperfection, which has no place in Christ our Lord. Thus be strict in the law: and the unlawful will not prevail: and sin shall not raise its ugly head before the presence of the Lord. So though I speak the sermons of weakness, so do I also speak the sermons of strength: for I am not called only to the strong; but also to the weak: not only to the wise; but also to the unwise. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Colossians 2:1-8: and let us Read and Hear as I speak in the spirit of our beloved brethren Paul, whose seed is the tribe of Benjamin: “FOR I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ”. And let the people say, Amen. HEARTS SEPTEMBER 13, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the heart of one pure in Jesus Christ. May the Lord our God and the Holy One of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may all righteous hearts hear the voice of truth and put away the pleasures of sinful flesh that they be found worthy when they stand before the judgment seat of Christ our Lord. For we know that a righteous heart alone cannot save a man: but blessed are those that are pure in heart; for they hear the voice of truth and do correction; because their heart (spirit) know truth and their mind (flesh) accept truth. Dear readers of this ministry: I pray that none have mistaken my words. For I know that I have revealed many controversial things: But I reveal these because the Lord so speaks it: how then can I deny the God of heaven? But if a man has read the testimonies of Ysmael that are written on the message board, then he has heard the bottom-line of holiness and true worship. For the eyes of lust though natural to our existence of flesh is still sin: and though a man might not act out that lust, if he considers the thought, he has indeed sinned in his heart. So be sincere in your mind to avoid sin, that when sinful thoughts arise, you be found with the strength and discipline to subdue those thoughts from consideration. For we all have an individual weakness as an existence of flesh, which is the devil’s strength in us. Some of us might be weak in faith; some weak to fornication; some weak to lust; some weak in understanding; and some weak to the things in the world. But if we seek strength in Christ our Lord; walking in his uprightness and holiness at all times, we shall easily overcome the way of sin. So I speak not only to the strong, but to the weak also: not only to the wise, but to the unwise also. And I speak not only from the mind of one strong and wise; but also from the mind of one weak and unwise: For is not Christ our Lord in all to bring all to strength and wisdom in love and truth, that the heart of a sinner turned righteous be honored even as the heart of one that never sinned? I call out to all hearts: both strong and weak; both sinful and without sin; both good and evil. I call out this Sabbath for all hearts: both Jew and Gentile; that they receive the conversion of Jesus Christ in the truth of his doctrine. I call out this Sabbath for the lonely heart, and the depressed heart, and the sad heart, and the weary heart, and the ugly heart, and the beautiful heart, and the happy heart, and the good heart, and the evil heart. I call out this Sabbath to all hearts, that every heart be healed of its own weakness, to be purified in the true name of our Lord. For we who are called to be saved are tested of our heart: not whether or not it is righteous: but to see if our heart controls our mind that the love in our heart which is the wisdom of our soul controls our flesh. For only when the flesh is trained and disciplined by the heart (spirit) to walk without sin can we be born of God to be saved in Christ: and no man can be without sin and not know the truth. But we who are called in the Spirit of Jesus Christ are destined for the truth. Now brethren, we who are called to the apostleship of Christ, let us not forget to consider the things at hand as we watch over souls: for the spiritual warfare in Vespucci is great between the knowledge of good and evil. For we know that Vespucci, whom the world call America, is the kingdom of Satan and the crown of western civilization, which promotes sexuality in all things before the eyes of flesh. Indeed, the inhabitants of this society are subject to see-through-clothes, and mini skirts, and booty shorts, and hip hungers, and thongs. These are the things that entice a man to lust, which leads to fornication and wayward thoughts. Surely this is a decadent society, where promiscuous sex and homosexuality is promoted: where men seek to be women and women seek to be men: where immorality is given the name “alternative lifestyle”. This is a society like unto Sodom and Gomorrah, where the joy of flesh runs wild in drunkenness and all manner of sin. Dear children: It is time to stop dancing on the streets like Bourbon: for time is at hand. So take your dance elsewhere, which is prancing in the house of the Lord, that you be blessed according to your heart: because time is at hand: and you know not when you shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ. I tell you this thing and it be certain: If you have heard the Voice of Truth, which is the testimony that we bring; but listened not, because you believed in your own understanding; knowing that though you are in sin, Christ will save you because of the goodness of your heart: prepare yourselves for a rude awakening. For those that are written in St. Matthew 7:22-23 are people with good hearts who did good work: but when they came before the judgment seat of Christ, he turned them away, because he knew them not; because they were in sin; even in sin because of not knowing the truth. So free yourselves from all manner of sin, that, you be found pure in heart, and true in the Lord. For you cannot serve God in spirit; and in flesh serve sin. For such is a heart that is not pure; but from out of it proceed evil thoughts, and murder, and adultery, and fornication, and theft, and false witness, and blasphemy, as our Lord so said; even drunkenness. I tell you no lie: The streets like unto Bourbon are filled with the hearts of good people that have fallen into the norm of this wayward society, and into the pleasures of their own flesh. These do not have evil thoughts from out of their heart; neither murder: but they are of adultery, and fornication; even blasphemy by reason of their ignorance. How then can they be saved? Beloved: I have given testimony to all things of our Lord, that both spirit and flesh, both mind and heart, might understand the way as an existence of flesh. This is a necessity for all men, and women, and children, that we all might know how we must live as an existence of flesh in the Messianic Age when the Devil is loosen again and sent forth to influence our flesh with worldly desires of sin. For sure, these sermons that are written before you, shall be found written also in the new Jerusalem, as the Old Testament and the New Testament shall be found written in the new Jerusalem: because the manchild that shall lead the 144,000 of the children of Israel shall carry every word of every sermon and everything that I have written into the holy city in his right hand, and in his mind, and in his heart, and in his spirit, and in his soul. So even though you might disagree with my testimony, know that it comes without spot or wrinkle; and with the power of God. For I have told you things that you should and must know; regardless if you can bear it or not; because time is at hand. So I give you that which is given to me: and if any should turn away, he never truly was. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to I John 3:18-24: and let us Read and Hear: “My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us”. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters: There are many people engaging in sin with good hearts. In their eyes they are doing the work of the Lord: praising the name of Jesus Christ as they go house-to-house; even on every corner. But they are in sin even with the righteousness of their heart, because they do not know the truth. But we have set before them the knowledge of the truth according to every word of Jesus Christ; even every word of the Holy Bible with the knowledge of history. Who then shall turn away from Christ? But one that never was in Christ. Dear brothers and sisters: There are indeed many people engaging in sin with good hearts. In their eyes it is harmless fun to dance and partake of strong drink as long as they do not become incoherent or hurt any one: and as long as their coition outside of marriage is mutual: viewing these acts as the normalcy of human flesh. But to be sober is the pure heart: and abstinence is the way of an unmarried person. But be not mistaken: for I am not preaching that a righteous man cannot be found dancing to the beat of human flesh: because all things in the world are upright if it do not violate a commandment of God; and if it do not contribute to the influence of sin. But I warn you this Sabbath day my brothers and sisters to keep away from the streets like Bourbon: for though there are innocent and good places found there: you know not when the Lord shall visit that street to destroy every place that promote drunkenness, and nudity, and immorality; which is found not only in the clubs; but on the street. Yea for sure, the angels of God walked the streets of Sodom: but when the end came there was found no angels of God in the midst. So as they gave warning in ancient times; so do I give warning in these modern times. Find yourself another place if you seek socialization and entertainment: because the streets like Bourbon around the world shall be destroyed from off the face of the earth forever. And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSON BOARD FORTY DAYS SEPTEMBER 6, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in my endurance of forty days. May the Most High God, the Lord our God, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be found worthy in His eyes after forty days of hunger, which hunger is the temptation of fleshly desires. Dear people of the earth: I call upon all men, and women, and children, to enter into the temple of God, which is their body, and cleanse their vessel with the sacrament of truth and fear of the Lord, that you be prepared to endure forty days straight without any manner of sin. For surely a sinner cannot become righteous without first enduring forty days of temptation in the bonds of their weaknesses: only then is their baptism by Spirit fulfilled. But if one should commit any manner of sin during those forty days of hunger and thirst, then they have not fulfilled the baptism of Spirit, but must begin all over from the start. Therefore let no man deceive himself: for there is no such thing as a little sin: all sin is sin in the eyes of God. But though there is a sin not unto death: no man can be baptized with the Spirit of life without first enduring forty days without committing any manner of sin; be it the act or the thought of consideration. So dear brothers and sisters mine: Let us understand the mystery of forty days, that we might know the reason the Lord made it rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. Surely all who were upon the ark of Noah in those days committed no sin. For were those days not the cleansing of earth?: even the cleansing of flesh? And is it not written of Moses: “And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments” (Exodus 34:28). So was this not done, the receiving of The Ten Commandments, after Moses had fasted for forty days? And do we not fast to cleanse ourselves of the mind that is flesh? For it is written: “Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high” (Isaiah 58:4). Was not the fast of Moses a sacrament for the sins of the people in his days? It is written in the fifth book of Moses: “And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger” (Deuteronomy 9:18). So for forty days, Moses took away the sins of our forefathers by not committing sin, that, they might receive The Ten Commandments written with the finger of God, to enter into the Promised Land. And was not the body of Moses sacrificed for the people, that his flesh enter not into the land, but the flesh of his people, whom he sacrificed his life for? But we know that soon after, our forefathers committed sin again; not because they are wicked souls; but because of the ignorance of flesh and the lack of self-will as an existence of flesh. Therefore, let every man count himself worthy, and endure his forty days without sin, that he become pure to enter into the final baptism, which come by fire before receiving eternal life. But no man can come into the baptism by fire without first receiving the baptism of Spirit, which is forty days straight without committing any manner of sin; be it the act of sin or considering the thought of sin. Only then is one prepared for the baptism by fire, that they might overcome to join Christ our Lord in the kingdom of heaven. For we know that Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by the devil for forty days, in which he fasted like Moses, and endured. And we know that we are called to live by his example, which is the way of Christ, that we become begotten of Christ as Christ is begotten of God. So I say unto you all as clearly as I can: We all must first be baptized with the water of life, which is the cleansing of our sins, that our vessel of flesh be found worthy to receive the wholeness of the Spirit, that we be called children of God from the mouth of God, to receive ministering from the angels of God who appear unto us even as strangers, that we might learn the knowledge of the truth, which is the perfect testimony of Jesus Christ. Then shall we be tried with the baptism by fire, which is the enduring of trials and tribulation, that we might show the patience of saints, which is the faith of the Son of man. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. Mark 1:1-13: and let us Read and Hear: “THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness. And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him”. Amen. He that has understanding, let him understand. And he that seek understanding, let him ask. And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE VESSELS AUGUST 30, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well among the vessels of mercy. May the Lord our God and the Holy One of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be found standing in flesh as vessels of the Lord. Dearly beloved saints of Christ: You know that my spirit is with you always though we are separated by oceans, and by plains, and by miles of highway: for the vessel of one child of God is linked to all children of God; whether Jew or Gentile; whether free or bond. I pray for you all each day in the love that is true in our Lord: and in the hope of eternal life. For though I know all things of our Lord to be true, I am still embedded in the hope that is written, which is given to strengthen the weakness of my vessel, which is the sinful nature of my flesh, that all doubt, which is the nature of flesh, be cast out. For the hope of the glory of God does not disappoint: for as it is written: “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” (Romans 5:5); so be it. For without hope, the vessel cannot receive life, because it is void of Spirit: what then shall it become? Dearly beloved church of the firstborn: Some in the tabernacles of the prophet Crowdy are not belonging to Jesus Christ; and some in Israel are not of Israel. For the vessels of these are belonging to the children of disobedience, whose seed is that of cursed children, that can neither see nor hear the way of Truth. For why ask a man, What is truth?; when Jesus has said, I am the truth. Why did Pilate ask Jesus, What is truth?; after Jesus had already given him the answer? Is it not written in the gospel of St. John, saying: “Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. And Pilate saith unto him, What is truth?” (St. John 18:37-38). So Pilate, in his interrogation of Jesus, did not hear Jesus when he said, “Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice”; to realize that truth is the voice of Jesus Christ: yet he found not fault in Jesus. So if a man do not understand our testimony or agree with us, but do not speak against us; is that man not then of a righteous heart, whose vessel can be saved from eternal death? For we know that our vessel cannot lead us into heaven; but it can lead us into hell. Let us not walk then after the flesh, which is our vessel; but let us stay in the way of the Spirit that our vessel be presented before sinful men as the evidence of the crooked made straight. Beloved: I come this Sabbath as I come each Sabbath in the hope that every race of mankind is saved. For we know that Christ our Lord has prepared a place for the seed of the European, and the Asian, and the African, and the Indian, and the Latino, and the Arab, and the Jew. For though our Lord is indeed the God of Israel: all people in Christ are belonging to the commonwealth of Israel: thus they are joint-heirs of the Lord’s salvation. So enter ye, everyone, into the Church of God, that you be known as a saint of Christ. For prophet William Saunders Crowdy came from out of Christ as the world’s evangelist: what other way is there then to salvation other than by the way of the Seven Keys that he brought back to our remembrance? I lie not; neither do I speak with an opinion; but say this truth in Christ our Lord with the three that bear record in heaven and in the earth as my witness: The keys that our Lord Jesus Christ gave to Peter, which are the keys of the kingdom of heaven, are the same Keys given to us by the prophet Crowdy, that all men might be saved. So I pray for your vessel, that it lead you not away from the Church of God: but that you enter into the knowledge of the prophets and apostles with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone, to learn the true way of the Lord. For the heart, which is the spirit, knows truth; but the mind, which is the vessel of the spirit, must accept truth. I pray your heart be in the spirit of God: and I pray your mind accept the truth of His Spirit: for no man, nor woman, neither any child, nor anything, can be saved outside of Israel: because such is the body of Jesus Christ. Now I know that many are bothered by the authority of my words: but my words are not my own; but belonging to Jesus Christ himself. And if I speak his words, then is his Spirit not the habitation of my vessel? The prophet Crowdy said behind him come Christ and fire: the Lamb’s book of life is Christ: and the testimony therein is his fire (the fulfillment of Revelation). Need I convince any man of my calling? Are my words of Truth not enough? Is my work that is presented before the whole world not a sign? I labor daily for the Lord: rising early each morning in the prayer of His hope: perfecting holiness in the truth of His Name. I Cornelius, come from out of the tabernacles of prophet Crowdy, bringing his name and teachings to remembrance; not only for the people of his congregation but to all the earth; yet my testimony is not honored in the tabernacles that he built. So be it then: for the prophecy of vessels must be fulfilled by the regeneration at hand. Here is the wisdom of a mystery for those who have understanding. The prophet Crowdy is like unto John the Baptist, even Moses and Elijah: who then am I like unto? For as the Jews turned away from Jesus for the sake of keeping Moses plan; so has the congregation of my youth turned from me in my maturity. But if they had known the words of prophet Crowdy, then they would know me: because he prophesied of me as Moses prophesied of Jesus. He that has understanding let him understand: and he that seek understanding let him ask for the understanding that he seek. For I seek not my own glorification, neither any individual honor; but that all men might turn to the truth of Christ name. Now brethren alike: we, being vessels of flesh, are liars unto ourselves as we are to all men, if we say that we are not tempted daily by all lust and sinful desires of the flesh. But if our mind stay in the way of our heart, then we are comforted by this Scripture: “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (I Corinthians 10:13). Surely I speak these words for my own sake as well as for the sake of all men: for I am not without temptation: but am tempted above you all. But let us remember that our temptation is not from God; but from the lust of our flesh, which is the vessel of our habitation. For our spirit is not born of sin: but our vessel is cursed in sin. How then can we overcome the lust of our vessel, which is daily: other than by the Spirit, which is the strength and wisdom of our Lord from our fear of Him. For if I do not fear the Lord, which are the consequences of transgression, then I would willing continue in abundant adultery and fornication; seeing only with the eyes of actuality like the men of flesh do. But I fear Him that can kill both body and soul in hell, that I have come from out of my crooked ways to be straight in the way of the Lord: knowing this, that, some things which seem to be sin is not unrighteousness. For some believed that Jesus had sinned when he helped a man move his bed on the Sabbath; not knowing that it is not unlawful to do good and save life on the Sabbath. Beloved men of God: let these words be therapy for our vessels that we do not weaken ourselves by the lust whose thoughts come from our little head. For we, being angels in heaven, and free from sin, are sent down to inhabit sinful vessels, that these crooked vessels become straight. And since we are made lower than our angelhood in our habitation of human flesh, we are even found among the hypocrites, and among those who hold the truth in unrighteousness. Those are the angels that kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation as it is written in Jude 6. For the ways of sin have been made known to our spirit, that our spirit might understand the vessels of human flesh. For how can a man solve a problem without first understanding the problem: only then can he receive a solution. Now I know that some of you find these words to be of hard understanding: but I speak this Sabbath in secret, that a mystery be revealed to those who have understanding. For if I were to speak plainly to you my friends, some who are listening without the mind of understanding would misinterpret my words and profess that I am justifying sin. I justify it not: for all unrighteousness is sin. But we know this through our knowledge of the Scriptures, even our knowledge of life, that, the end justifies the means if the end is righteous. Here is wisdom. If a man considers the thoughts of his lust, but act not thereon, has he committed a sin? Verily, he has sinned in his heart. But is this sin unrighteousness? Is this sin worthy of death? Nay: for there is a sin not worthy of death. He that has an ear let him hear the mystery of this Scripture: “If any see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death” (I John 5:16-17). I pray that no man fall to sin: for we know that whosoever is born of God sin not. But if a just man fall to sin; he will not fall into the sin of death; because righteousness will always be the end of his work. He shall indeed receive the crown of life as it is written: because the Lord out of His love and the tenderness of His mercy has prepared a way for that man to escape his temptation: and that man in his righteousness has entered therein. But what shall become of the many that do not enter into the way of escape but indulge in their own lust to unrighteousness; even those who the truth is manifested because God has revealed it to them and they do speak it? It is written my friends: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them” (Romans 1:18-19). Moreover: “For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them” (II Peter 2:21). Thus, we who are called into the holy priesthood of Jesus Christ, to enter therein, are of a chosen vessel, that we be not found as the hypocrites, and as those that faint from their labor and longsuffering. For we are born of God: even so are these vessels of our habitation made anew. Therefore we cannot sin: but are called to fulfill the prophecy that is written of us. He that has understanding let him understand. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Romans 9:6-33: and let us Read and Hear: “Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed”. Amen. Let the vessels of those that seek salvation receive our testimony and be baptized into the Church of God to be a saint of Christ: and the vessels of mercy shall be upon them. Remember this sermon I pray. For the hour come, when all things spoken therein shall be fulfilled. Yea for sure: In the crucifixion of my vessel, which surely must come as our Lord in the ancient of days: my penis shall be cut off and my body savagely beaten. Question not why this thing must happen: but know there is no remission of sins without the shedding of blood. And I tell you this thing in secret for fear you might not understand it plainly; and that I be found by no man as a hypocrite or a liar: If anything is found removed from my flesh, it has been removed because it offended. For we who are called to death at the hand of the beast are called to sacrifice for the remission of sins that the children of God be caught up into the air with their Christ: Because we know there is no remission of sins without the shedding of blood. Moreover, where there come a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator (Hebrews 9:16). We, of whom Ysmael and Keith are one, are called in the last will and testament of Christ: Are we not destined then to be slain by the hand of evil; because of our testimony against evil? And though we carry no sin because of our adoption, are we not called to sin, that our death in flesh be justified? Because the death of one without sin cannot be justified by the hand of evil unless an offence is done by that one: such is why Jesus was made to know sin and to be sin (II Corinthians 5:21). For when a sinner turns righteous through the baptism of Christ, he is made anew, and the former things have passed away: how then can he be slain for the remission of his sins? Surely he must be made into sin again; not for his sake; but for the sake of those that are taken in rapture and spared the sword of the beast. Now I know some of you do not understand these words that I bring before you this Sabbath day: but was not our Lord made a sinner before he gave up the ghost? Verily, it is written that Jesus cried out on the cross with a loud voice: “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me” (St. Matthew 27:46). Surely it is a great sin to lose faith in God: this offence was done by him for our sake; even for the sake of strangers and the ungodly; that we all might live by reason of the shame that God put upon His only begotten Son because of His love for us. And not love for the Jew only; but for the Gentile; and for the Greek. Know therefore then the understanding of my words. For we who stand in the holy priesthood of Jesus Christ, being one of the holy apostles in this regeneration; though we are redeemed from sin, to give testament of the Lamb’s book of life, we must become sin again before we can give up the ghost in this life; because our death at the hand of the beast must be justified. Moreover it is also written: “For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself” (Hebrews 7:26-27). He that has understanding let him understand. Beloved children of God: I reveal this Sabbath day yet another mystery, that men do not look upon my vessel with honor. For in flesh I am as the common man, who overcame the nature of his sinful flesh, to walk in flesh without sin for a time and a space of time that others might learn to do the same. But the hour come in these days of the regeneration when I must be slain by the hand of evil: so let the will of God be done that my death be justified according to the way of Christ, that my vessel be restored and my spirit preserved for the Messianic Age. For it is written in the sermon text: “Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why has thou made me thus?” (Romans 9:18-20). Some will hear these words and understand: some will be left without understanding: and some will be left wondering. But this is the lamentation of one that stood before you in the redemption of sin; whom you knew by way of his testimony; but who is now given to sin again for your sake. Here is wisdom from the mind of Christ: Honor no vessel of flesh, but the Spirit of a man, which are his words of truth. Such is the reason why I am not found preaching in your streets; nor on your television sets; because only the hand that writes and the word that speaks is the Lord. So if I should fall into sin this very second, I will not fall by my hand neither by my word: therefore know still, that, the Lord has sent me. For if the words are true, then the spirit is real. But put no faith in the vessel of human flesh: for our vessels are made of sinful flesh, which know only the way of sin, and are cursed to sin. But in the kingdom to come, our vessels of flesh shall be of a new heart and a pure mind, whose nature shall not be of sin, but of righteousness always. Then and only then shall we be able to walk in flesh all the days of our life without sin in our actions, neither in our hearts: because worthy is the Lamb that is slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. Now of the things I have spoken this Sabbath, this is the sum: “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” (II Corinthians 4:5-7). Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD SERMON FROM MIAMI AUGUST 23,2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well this Sabbath in the beautiful city of Miami Beach. May the Almighty God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all give praise and worship to the only wise God, our Lord and Savior. Dear saints in this great city, where the peace of mind belonging to my flesh find comfort: I speak to you this Sabbath day in the hope that I am welcomed by the children of Israel that sit in the tabernacle of prophet Crowdy praising the name of Jesus Christ. I greet you all in the love of the Lord; and in the hope of his coming. I Cornelius, servant of Jesus Christ, have not turned my back to any church calling on the name of Jesus Christ in Hebrew customs: but this I say, and the thing be certain: If there be any that turn their back to me, they will never bear witness to the Lord’s salvation: but shall melt away in the gnashing of their teeth. For we who are called in the true name of the Lord are called in the Spirit of Truth: and the Truth shall indeed judge the heathen and the fool and fill their places with their dead bodies. For the judgment of Christ is nigh: and his disciples have risen: and their testimony shall not return to them. So be sound of understanding: and be filled with the knowledge that He who sent prophet William Saunders Crowdy has also sent me. And I pronounce this day before the city of Miami as I do before all the earth, that William Saunders Crowdy was a prophet of God indeed, whose teacher was the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. And though many that sit in the tabernacles which the prophet Crowdy built are against me, and have turned their back against me, I am not dismayed; because the Church of God and Saints of Christ is where I stand. Surely we know that the temple of God is not a building; but an upright and holy person in the Hebrew customs of Jesus Christ. Beloved children from the true tabernacle of the prophet Crowdy: I seek nothing against you: for I was baptized of flesh in your house, that my name be called among your rolls, that men might know your place is true. O church of God and saints of Christ in Miami, whose tabernacle sit on 20th Street and 50th Ave, I shall seek to enter into your place this Sabbath day in my love for the prophet Crowdy, and in my love for Keith A. Williams and his family. Greetings to you all in the Spirit of Truth: I wish you all well in the prayers and blessings of the Holy One. May your patience be rewarded: and your long-suffering glorified. For you have long been in obscurity: not known even among yourselves. But the hour come, and now is, that the name of Christ Church in the ancient of days be revealed. For the prophet Crowdy brought only that which had already been to our remembrance, that the songs and prance of our forefathers be renewed in this regeneration set forth by his presence. So count me not as an enemy except you be an enemy of the true teachings of prophet Crowdy: for though I am indeed greater than him, I come not without him. Beloved children of Israel: Let no man believe that I am sent by my own will: for my works alone is the truth of my calling. I am lifted up from out of the tabernacles built by the prophet Crowdy not to lead men away from his teachings, but to bring men back to the knowledge that he taught. For if his teacher is the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, are we not then sent by the same Master? None from the tabernacles of my fleshly birth have laid eyes on me in their tabernacles since the beginning of this ministry. But if it be the will of the Father, then I will enter into a new tabernacle this Sabbath day in the hope of its blessing. For I am not sent here only for vacation; but in the hope of breaking bread with my friends. For we who are called to serve the Lord cannot find rest and relaxation without spreading the word of God in every place that we enter. Beloved assembly: We who are called and preserved in Jesus Christ send wisdom and understanding to all the inhabitants of the earth, that a righteous man can be in the world, but not of the world. For we who are called in the holy priesthood need not appear to men that we can have no joy among the inhabitants of the earth: for we surely walk among the common man, and do as the common man, but avoid the perils of sin. So think not that the servants of God cannot be found at a beach, or in a concert without gospel music, or even in an amusement park. For we who are called and preserved are prepared for his coming: but we are not denied the joy of living as an existence of flesh. Let a man therefore know that all joy in this world is not of sin; but the pleasures of this life is sin. I pray a man have the wisdom to know the difference: if not, let him read the Sin sermon in the Sabbath archives. Now to all the inhabitants of this city: I pray that these words come to your ears: I know the pleasures of this life, and the pleasures that this city offer; but if we commit ourselves to the commandments of God, we can find pleasure in the Lord, which will not be grievous to our existence as flesh. For contrary to the thoughts of men, our service to God is not a boring life in this world: for pleasure can be found, even in this world, standing on the commandments of God. But the pleasures of this life without obedience to the Commandments is the path of Death and Hell, which cannot be seen with the eyes of actuality, because the hour of Death and Hell will rise at the time of what will be, which is the hour to come; and the eyes of flesh can only see the things of today. So is it that many are seduced by the sinful pleasures that tempt us daily: because the people that live by the flesh and not by the Spirit can only see with the eyes of actuality; thus they are deceived and seduced by the pleasures of this city, which are great and many. But let me be an example: for as I live by the Spirit and not by the flesh, I find joy in this city of fleshly pleasures through the life that the Lord has given me, which is His love, and the love of my wife and family. For though we are tempted by our existence in flesh, to violate a commandment of our God, whether it be in this city, or in any city or town; the temptation is not greater in this place than in any place that we set our feet. So enjoy the few days of your remaining life as an existence of flesh in this world; but stay in the commandments of God, that your crown of life be not removed by the seduction of sin. For this great city of Miami is in like manner of Sodom and Gomorrha; but even in those places are saints scattered about awaiting the calling. So disciples of Truth, enter into every city, even the city known as Sin (Las Vegas), that one might hear the voice of truth and be saved in the only Church of God. For righteous hearts are found among the unrighteous: some are lost sheep seeking to be found. Now brothers and sisters of mine and all who are called to partake of this assembly: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Jude 5-25: and let us Read and Hear: "I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withered, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen". THE GREAT CONDEMNATION AUGUST 16, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the love that is God Almighty which is freedom from The Great Condemnation that shall come upon all that oppose the Spirit of Truth. May the Most High God, the Lord God of Israel, and His only begotten Son, the Holy One of Israel; heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be saved from The Great Condemnation that is soon to come upon all who are of sin, and unbelief, and walking in impenitence, and hypocrisy, and of false teaching. For the hour come, and now is the hour, for the righteous to be separated from the unrighteous. So my dear friends: all who partake of this heavenly calling: be not found among those that hear not the voice of truth: because they are dead souls that cannot receive the life of Jesus Christ. Thus, they shall be like crabs in a cooking pot: because they seek not to die alone: because misery loves company. But if there is found a man that disagree with us, yet do not speak against us, cast no judgment upon him: for he is not without a chance to be saved. But that man or that woman that speak against us our testimony, they cannot be converted to the way of the Lord, because their resurrection is set. For as you are today, so were you also in the days when our Lord walked the earth in flesh: for the spirit of no man, nor woman, neither any child is new to the earth: because the spirit behind every man, woman, and child is resurrected from the Ancient of Days. Such is the wisdom behind the parable known as the sower of the seed. Dearly beloved servants of the Truth: I speak openly and honestly to you all: Death shall come quickly and be everlasting to all who stand against the Lamb’s book of life. It is indeed better for a man not to confess the name of Christ than to confess the name of Christ yet deny the testimony of this book. For in doing such, he has made his destiny according to the word of St. Matthew 12:32: what then shall be his tomorrow? Verily if a man speak against me as an existence of flesh which are the things of my own that are belonging to flesh, it shall be forgiven to him: but if a man speak against the testimony that I bring to this website; he has not spoken against me; but against the Spirit of Truth, which is the Holy Ghost. And if a man should say, How do we know for sure that your testimony is the Holy Ghost? I say unto that man and all who hold that question: If a man be true in Christ, then he follow every word of Jesus Christ; not according to the spirit; but according to the spirit and the letter, which is the perfect testimony known as the Four Gospels and the Book of Revelation. For sure: If my testimony is not in accordance to every word that is written in the red letters of our Lord; even all that is written in the Gospels and the Revelation of our Lord; then I am of error. And if I am in error, then show me correction according to the written word of our Lord. And if you cannot show me correction according to the written word of Jesus Christ, then am I not authentic? For what correction can be given to the perfect testimony, which is the testimony directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ. So if there is no error found in my testimony according to the words of Jesus Christ and the Revelation of Jesus Christ, are my words then not pure? But men seek their own way; and their own interpretations; that they might feel justified in their false belief. But if a man be true in Jesus Christ, then he worship nothing of his own: he is dedicated to live according to every word of the Holy Scriptures with the red letters of Jesus Christ above all. But the Devil seek to confound men under the name of controversy by publishing many versions of the Holy Bible that some might be misled by the subtle changes of words: and that some might be stumped by various interpretations. But I speak according to prophecy: and is it not written that there is no private interpretation of prophecy? But even that is subject to interpretation because of the wayward thoughts of flesh. So how then can we know the right way? Is it not by first using our common sense: beginning with the wisdom that the knowledge of life is built on the foundation of the Scriptures with the testimony of Jesus Christ as the head. Is it not because Jesus answered when asked by the high priest regarding his doctrine: “I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said” (St. John 18:20-21). And did he not say to them that heard him: “My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him” (St. John 7:16-18). For did our Lord and Master not bring us his Holy Spirit, that his testimony be accurately recorded, that it be remembered forever, and made available to all? Surely the king James version of the Holy Bible was sent forth by the Lord Himself, that the untarnished translation of the Scriptures prevail in the earth. For we know that the Catholic Church published its own version of the Scriptures and sealed the original tongues from the inhabitants of the earth that they might know only darkness in the name of the Lord: But we also know that the Lord put it in the heart of king James to publish the original tongues that the truth be made known to the inhabitants of the earth; for even the servants of Satan are anointed by the Lord. For was not Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon (the first world empire of Satan), beholden to God Almighty (Daniel 4:1-3). And was not Cyrus, the king of Persia (the second world empire of Satan), anointed by God (Isaiah 45:1), to be a shepherd (Isaiah 44:28). So why then should we ignore the Authorized King James Version of the Holy Scriptures when I stand before the world with this same Bible and my testimony is found without flaw? Indeed I am a radical and the extreme of the so-called Christian faith; yet my words are true and my doctrine sound in the bible most Christians recite. So am I in error or are they? I set forth this day under the command of Jesus Christ himself, the condemnation of every version of the Holy Scriptures save the Authorized King James Version. For that which is found with one flaw is condemned to damnation: for only that which is perfect can be saved: and blessed are those that are given a chance to do correction that they might be found perfect in the hour of Christ coming, which hour is nigh. I speak these words to you who are new ears to the Lamb’s book of life: You have indeed been hoodwinked and humbugged by wayward pastors when the truth is plainly written before your eyes; even recited from your own mouth. What then is left waiting for you, but The Great Condemnation? I pray for you all though I know my words shall fall upon deaf ears: for many are dead walking among the living; yet some of the dead are given a chance for life. For I wish to see no man fall into The Great Condemnation, which is soon to come. So I pray for the many that are lost in the Temple Beth-El: being led away once again from the way of God by the spirit of Ephraim. I pray earnestly for the many love ones who are found in that place of my childhood, that they might see the light before The Great Condemnation swallow them whole. For the Church of God and Saints of Christ cannot be found in that place you call Canaan land; neither under the leadership of Rabbi Jehu Crowdy. Nor can any be saved in Israel without the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. So I command you and all who are of Hebrew blood, to come from out the way of wayward pastors, or face The Great Condemnation that shall come upon this regeneration of scribes and Pharisees. And I command the wayward pastors to also repent, and be baptized in the Spirit of Truth, that the blindness of their ways be given light. For I speak according to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ: and as he so spoke then: “Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous. And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?” (St. Matthew 23:24-33): so is it also now. And in that same Spirit do I say this: “But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widow’s houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation” (St. Matthew 23:13-14). Now if one should ask, How did these Rabbis and Pastors rise to power in the churches of God? I speak unto all who seek that answer, as it is written in the Holy word: “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” (Jude 4). And if one should ask, What is their purpose? I cannot say it any better than our Lord Jesus Christ so spoke: “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves” (St. Matthew 23:15). So is it that a man can be led by a prophet of truth, but when that prophet is gone away, that man can be led away from the truth if he is not steadfast and un-moveable in the knowledge of Christ given to him by that prophet. For we know that every prophet of God is made straight: who then has made his path crooked but the footsteps of the corrupt. For was not the path of Moses made straight: but who made it crooked but our wayward fathers. And was not the doctrine of God made straight: but who made it crooked but ungodly men that crept in unaware who were ordained to condemnation because they are the cursed children of hell whose feet cannot be made straight. O lost sheep of Israel: I speak unto you in the same Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ; and I pray you hear: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live” (St. John 5:24-25). Dear children of the earth: I pray for you all in the love that is Christ Jesus. For I am not sent to omit any race, neither any soul from salvation: but to bring all good men into the way of the Lord. For we know that there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, because they walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. I pray for those that walk after the Spirit, that they might stay in the way of the Spirit: and I pray for those that walk after the flesh, that they be converted to walk after the Spirit: because only the love of Jesus Christ can make the crooked, straight. Become straight I pray in the way; because straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to the life of Jesus Christ, which is the only life found after The Great Condemnation. I pray for you all in the hope that you listen. And if a man should wonder why my voice is not heard in the streets: let him know the prophecy of my coming from the testament of old: “BEHOLD my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street” (Isaiah 42:1-2). So know that even as the coming of Jesus Christ was prophesied in the Old Testament; so am I also. For am I not a scribe of Christ in spirit; sent in flesh to be a sacrificial lamb for the crooked made straight? And are we not all, who are saints of Christ, prepared to sacrifice our life as an existence of flesh for the sake of Christ? Indeed: we seek no life but a life with Christ, which is freedom from pain, worry, and death. Indeed: we are prepared for the times to come: and seek no government but the Government of Christ. For we know that all governments, and nations, and kingdoms, and peoples, are condemned that hear us not. For we who are called in the Spirit of Jesus Christ and his holy apostles are called with all the authority of Christ: for we are indeed born of God to be joint-heirs with Christ. Beloved brothers and sisters in the Church of the first born: This thing called the Constitution of the United States of America, which entitles men to the freedom of religion and lifestyle, was written by the scribes of Satan, who under this thing called Democracy has gone out and deceived the world. But we know that in the kingdom of God, these things shall not be: because the Lord our God is a Dictator of Righteousness. For there is only One God, One Faith, and One Baptism: All others are given to the Great Condemnation that is to come. But if a man is wise in the knowledge of the truth; and live for what will be, remembering what has been, and knowing what is; he shall not find condemnation, but the salvation of God. For if we who are servants of God, live for what will be, knowing what is, and remembering what has been. How then can we fall victim to The Great Condemnation when we are prepared for its coming? Verily I have spoken these words of wisdom before but I repeat myself for the sake of the new ear; so hear me I hope: There is no opinion to the truth: and there are many truths, but only one reality; because reality is not only the past and present, but the future as well. So we know that God is reality: because God is the beginning and the end of everything. So think not that you can stand on neutral ground and be saved from The Great Condemnation: for as it is written: “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:15): so shall it be. Dear people of the earth: I Cornelius, the son of Helen, the daughter of Ruth and Earl, from the tribe of Judah, am not only a scribe, but a prophet and a wise man also. For did not our Lord Jesus Christ send us scribes, and prophets, and wise men. Yea for sure: and as he so spoke: “Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city; That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation” (St. Matthew 23:34-36): so shall it also be again in this regeneration of Jesus and his disciples. So be it then that the holy apostles lift themselves up: for the hour come, and now is. These are the twelve without doubt: and without shame: that cannot deny the true name of Jesus Christ: but are called to stand in a holy priesthood like unto our Lord, of which the first and most beloved is Ysmael, whose spirit is that same disciple that Jesus loved. Of him and all of them have God Himself chosen: and nigh is the hour for their faces to be revealed. Now good people of the earth: let all who seek to be saved from The Great Condemnation, which is eternal damnation to whosoever and everything that is not written in the Lamb’s book of life, take a seat in the only Church of God, which are the churches of Jesus Christ that are set before us, that they be born of the water and of the Spirit, to enter into the kingdom of heaven. For all who are called by this testimony are called in the true name of the Lord: and all who teach these words are so led by the Spirit of Christ. So let us open our Holy Bibles to St. John 3:11-19 this Sabbath day in a renewed spirit: and let us Read and Hear: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil”. Beloved people of the earth: If you have seen my face, then also have you seen the face of our Lord Jesus Christ: and if you have heard my voice, then also have you heard the voice of our Lord Jesus Christ. But let there be no misunderstanding: for I am not Jesus Christ: but one like unto him; sent in his image and likeness as an existence of flesh; and with the similitude of his Spirit to gather the lost sheep of Israel and the wayward Gentiles. And I pray for you all in the hope that your ears will hear and your minds will do correction: for no man, or woman, nor child, can be saved outside the testimony that we bring. So put away before you all the things that we command you, that you be found acceptable unto the Lord. For the way of America and all of her allies; even the fools under her grace; is the way whose end is The Great Condemnation. For every faith outside of the Hebrew customs of Jesus Christ is condemned: and every lifestyle against the morality of God is condemned: and every prayer without the hope of Jesus Christ is condemned: and every church bearing an idol is condemned: and every man, woman, and child in the crooked path is condemned. For The Great Condemnation shall come quickly; though it is still many days away. But when it is at the door, you will have no chance to make that which is crooked, straight, before it enter. So be wise: and prepare for what will be; that you are found straight in the way of the Lord at the hour of The Great Condemnation, which is the fulfillment of the book of Revelation. In the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray for you all, that you all might be saved from the evil to come. Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD IDOLATRY AUGUST 9, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well my friends with the help of your prayers. May the Holy One of Israel and his Maker heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all come before the Almighty God with true tithes and offering, which is not money, but the tithes that is labor for the Truth; and the offering that is presenting a body daily without sin. For the tithes of old, being a tenth of your salary, has passed away with the temple as a building. Neither can the offering be perfected with money: but with the commitment as an existence of flesh to live without sin. For such is the tithes and offerings belonging to the church of Jesus Christ, which we are. Beloved men and women who are called into this holy assembly: I speak these words that will offend some and anger many: But I speak not according to my own mind; but according to the mind of Truth. And as there were many disciples among Jesus, but left his side, because the hardcore truth separated them from him; so has that hour risen again in this regeneration of Jesus and his disciples. For many that have supported my testimony, and made mention of my word with good tidings, shall now be against me, because of the testimony I bring this Sabbath in the absolute truth. So I say this thing and I pray you are one of the many yet few that take heed: Thus saith the Lord; He who has made the crooked straight: Take off that Cross from around your neck; even the Star of David; for both are indeed a sign of idolatry. For these things have no life in them, neither can they receive life. For the Star of David passed away with the old covenant: and the Cross was never given to the new covenant. So be it then, that, you put away these things from your presence: for they are not belonging to the kingdom of God under Jesus Christ. But are passed away; and void of life. Now I know the Gentiles that call themselves Christians, honor the Cross as a symbol of Christ glorification. But what glory would Christ give to a heathen symbol of death, which was the mark of the beast from the beginning? And I know that faithful Jews wear the Star of David as a sign of Israel: but what sign is there of Israel in the sight of God but an upright and holy man in the Hebrew customs of Jesus Christ. So I say unto you all as I so spoke in the Stone of Truth, that the hour would come for you to put away these things, which hour is at hand, and is the death of the Son of man. And I do know that many are left to wonder about this mystery called the death of the Son of man: but it is even as the mystery of St. Matthew 25:1-13; and the word of Hebrews 7:23-27. For for many the understanding of those words will not be revealed: not because they are not worthy: but because that mystery can only be revealed to a select few. So brothers and sisters of mine, the death of the Son of man in this regeneration has so risen, though you see it not. And when you do see it; because it must come before the eyes of flesh, that the prophecy of our Lord Jesus Christ be fulfilled before the eyes of flesh; it shall come as it was in the ancient of days. But all things happen in the spirit before they occur in the flesh: because the thought (spirit) comes before the action and not the action before the thought. Verily the hour has come, for all things of idolatry, which are also the things of idolism, to be put away from the name of Christ. For what was made a sign of Israel is not anymore: and what many believe to be a sign of Christ followers never was. For when he said, Pick up the Cross and follow me; he meant to sacrifice your life for the truth. For surely you heard him say: “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me” (St. Matthew 10:38). But if you had heard the next verse, saying: “He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it” (St. Matthew 10:39); then would you know that Jesus was speaking of sacrificing his life for the truth. For the Cross was a tool used by the Romans to crucify those that opposed their government and violated their laws: it is a symbol of pagan strength and death: it has grown under the power of Satan to be more than idol worship, but a fallacious notion and false reasoning. And the Star of David, which has decayed and grown old, is taken up by the Greeks that are impersonating as Jews; and they have polluted the holy land of old with their idolatry in the synagogue of Satan, which began even before the days that Jesus Christ appeared before us in the flesh. I tell you no lie: These things (the Star of David and the Cross) are defiled and of shame from this day on: for they are idols: even graven images of a false god. Be not deceived by them as men are deceived by the word Christian to worship under Christianity: which if the truth be known means anti-Christian. Now we know that Paul preached the Cross because he knew in part: and that he did all manner of things for the sake of keeping the name of Christ among men. This was the leniency of preaching the gospel in part, which is according to the spirit and not the letter. This was not done because Paul was not an able minister, but because of the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ, that the heathen might keep the name of Christ in his heart, even in his own understanding. Surely we must learn history to understand the Scriptures: and in knowing history, we know from where came the Cross, and why Paul preached the Cross (I Corinthians 1:18) and the leniency of Colossians 2:16. We know these things by reason of our knowledge in history: for not only must we know what is said in the Scriptures: we must also know who it was said to and when. This is the common sense of things belonging to the children of God. And let no man feel ignorant if he knew it not; but let him feel blessed that he have ears to hear the knowledge of the truth. For we all were ignorant at one time: But as it is written: Whom the Lord love, the Lord correct; so is it. And so that no man might be found confounded by Scripture, I reveal this understanding of I Corinthians 1:18: The preaching of the Cross that came from the apostle Paul was sacrificing your life for the word of God. And if we know history as we must, then we understand why it is written in Galatians 6:12 of the persecution for the Cross of Christ: because many Gentiles did convert to the name of Christ and took up the Cross as a symbol of following Christ to his glory. Through the act of their good intentions the Devil deceive the men to continue in his path of idolatry and vain worship. Indeed: the path to hell is paved with good intentions. Dear children of Israel: I pray every one of you come into understanding: for even the symbol known as the Star of David is a thing of idol worship. So put it also away from your place of worship: and away from around your neck: for it is not called to stand in the Truth of the Lord in the hour of his Second Advent; but is cast out as the ark of the covenant is cast out. For the things we understood to be correct are not necessarily so: but can a man overcome the things he believed to do correction? Do you truly trust in me to accept my testimony as the gospel of Christ? Surely many say to me, “Out of all the billions of people on this earth, how is it that you are the one that is right”? Dear people of the earth: The Gospel of Christ is available to all: I spoke it not first: I have only repeated that which is already written that you might be saved. With much of my testimony there is great controversy: but I am not sent to “sugar-coat” the truth: but to give all truth unconditionally. And if there be any that are offended by these words that come from out of my mouth, so be it: for I shall not rescind that which is given to me from the Spirit of Jesus Christ himself. For my mouth in the Church of God is belonging to the command of the Lord: so from out of my mouth go that which shall not return, because it is undisputable truth. So let men be angry at this testimony and deny my command: but not one of them can show me the error of my testimony according to the Holy Scriptures. So who then should you listen to? I tell you good people of the earth: Idols are not only symbols, but men as well. Be not confounded by your indoctrination, that you fall into confusion with the makers of idols, who present the graven image of Christ to deceive many: calling themselves Angelic and Episcopal; but are Catholic; and polluters of God’s holy name. For there is no church but one, which is the Church of God and Saints of Christ where I stand. And where I stand there is no place for Christianity; neither any manner of worship without the true name of Jesus Christ, which are the reformed Hebrew customs of an upright and holy man in priesthood of Christ. So if you join me; join me as I am: for I am one like unto the Son of man; being called from among the many sons of God; and sent in the image and likeness of our Lord to fulfill the regeneration of his days. So put away your idols; and your false reasoning: and take up every word of our Lord as it is so written in the authorized king James version of the Holy Scriptures, with the testimony of Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. And in doing such, you shall see the salvation of God. For no man can be saved outside of Israel: because Israel is saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation. So repent: every one of you that are lost in the way, that, you be not found praying to a god that cannot save. For out of all the many religions and faiths that are in the world, there is only one religion and one faith in the true name of the Lord. Was that doctrine not revealed to you in the books of the Four Gospels? Did our Master not say that he is the truth, the way, and the life? Is his vital words not clearly written even as they are also written in parables, that no man be found without the excuse of not understanding? For are we who stand in the Church of God not the crooked made straight by Christ, that others might be made straight by our testimony, which is Christ Spirit? Verily we can only see the Spirit by the content of its words: but many have eyes to see but cannot see; and ears to hear but cannot hear: these are those that will be left without; not because of God’s will; but because of their own. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Isaiah 45:11-25: and let us Read and Hear: “Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts. Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. They shall be ashamed and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols. But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. I have not spoken in secret , in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory”. Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE SECOND TESTIMONY OF A JEW AUGUST 2, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the wisdom and knowledge of a Jew. May the Lord God of Israel and the Holy One of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed in their creation to be born from the womb. Brothers and Sisters of mine: I come before you this Sabbath with hidden tears, which are the tears of an angel in a solitary place. For the Devil has risen up against me; and has sought to weaken my spirit by bringing added grief into my life. For as I gave testimony two Sabbaths ago, the Devil in his many wiles has led my daughter into the path of erroneous decisions, that her life be altered from the way of the Lord: and in the early morning of the past Sabbath day the 17 year old daughter of my beloved uncle was slain by the Devil in the disguise of a tragic accident. This is the added grief that has recently occurred in my life as an existence of flesh: so also is the more than 30 days that I have been beset with an illness, which attacks mainly during the hours of the night; yet the Father has blessed me and given me the strength to continue my daily walk, that my days be normal and my preaching continue. For great is the Devil in his power over my flesh: but greater is my power in the Spirit of the Lord. So if we live by flesh, then we are surely subject to the Devil; but if we live by Spirit, then we have victory over the Devil through Jesus Christ. Dear friends of this holy sanctuary: As I am stricken with grief, so also is there and shall be grief in the life of all the saints that they might be weakened and distracted from the way. For when bad things happen to good people, are they not tempted to believe that God has forsaken them, or that there is no God? And if we preach to men, but none of them give an ear, are we not tempted to believe that our work is in vain? But if we see through the illusion that has been set before us by Devil, then we find the understanding, and comfort, and healing of the Lord. So are we not tried daily by faith, that our hope in Jesus Christ be proven to those who watch over our flesh? And are we not challenged daily by the things of our flesh, which are the things that we can see with the eyes of flesh, and touch with the hands of flesh, and feel with the feelings of flesh, that the things of flesh might become greater than the things of Spirit? Surely unless a man remain spiritually minded at all times, he shall not be able to discern when bad things happen to him: what then shall he become but a doubter, and one taken further from the mind of God. How then shall that man be able to stand, that he may enter into the glorious kingdom of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost? For in all things, our Lord Jesus Christ gave us an example of what to do, and what not to do. Truly, when he cried out on the cross to his Father, Why have you forsaken me; had he not lowered himself to be like the common man, who is weak of faith, that he might learn from the resurrection that the Lord forsake none of the righteous though it might appear at that moment to the eyes of flesh. So trust not in the things of flesh; but in the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord. For if we are true in our uprightness, then we embrace death in the hope of eternal life, which is the peace of God that surpass all understanding. So know this, that, all things cannot be understood by the flesh: therefore the search for some answers to satisfy the logic of men cannot be found according to their reasoning: thus, let a man seek the Spirit of God only for the answer, which surpasses the things of actuality, which are the things of flesh; because the answer to many things in discerning the mystery of God is according to what will be (the future). For we know that the flesh can only live according to yesterday and today: but the Spirit can live according to yesterday, today, and tomorrow; because tomorrow is only promised to the Spirit. So in your search for answers as to why certain things happened yesterday and today, know that the answer might be found in the things to come. For what word is there greater than the Holy Scriptures? And what say the Holy Scriptures: “THE righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come” (Isaiah 57:1). So brothers and sisters, know that our grief does not come from God, though all things are delivered by Him. Therefore when bad things happen to us, let at look first at ourselves for guilt: and if there be none, then let us know that the Lord has put us to a test through the will of the Devil, which we might not understand in the mind of flesh, but will in the mind of Spirit. For when we come into the Spirit, being born of God, the commandments of God are not grievous to us; neither are any of the things that come from out of this world. For the Lord has not set His saints this day to suffer the woes of the world; but the longsuffering of patience. But in knowing that nothing can precede what the flesh feel, we will feel the grief from the death of a love one, and from the lost of a precious thing. But that grief is not with us daily, as the grief we receive from the wisdom and knowledge that set ourselves apart from the madness and folly of men, who despise us because our wisdom and knowledge corrects them from the error of their ways that they seek not to change. So we are called by them the things that we are not: and because we are few the loneliness of our flesh is felt: for as it is written: “For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow” (Ecclesiastes 1:18); so is it so; because the common man in this world is a fool; and fools despise wisdom and knowledge because they cannot justify their falsehood which they love. So we, the keepers of truth, are given grief daily in the flesh because many turn a deaf ear to us, that only one out of a thousand receive us; and sometimes that one is led away by the Devil. And because nothing can precede what the flesh feel, we feel grief, though we have it not by reason of our Spirit: because our Spirit is not grief but joy in the hope of Jesus Christ. So what then is grief to us but a strengthening of our flesh, that we might prove ourselves worthy in our trust in the Lord, which is to trust not in the things at hand, but in the things to come, which are the things of promise. Beloved: I bring forth this report that was first given by the prophet Isaiah, concerning the sacrificial lamb of God: and I recite the words as they are so written in the book of Isaiah 53:1-12: “WHO hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divided him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors”. Beloved brothers and sisters of this holy assembly: I give testimony this Sabbath in the birth and nature of an upright and holy Jew in the true name of Jesus Christ. And if there be any of Israel that disagree with me, they are not Jews in Christ, but stubble men of lost souls. These have fallen among the wicked: being born of Jacob, and called by the name of Israel, and making mention of the God of Israel; yet not according to truth, neither in righteousness. For these are the resurrected spirits from ancient times, who are transgressors and liars from the womb. These have ears that will not open: and eyes that will not see. So be it then: for there is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Isaiah 48:1-8: and let us Read and Hear: “HEAR ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness. For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name. I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from the time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb”. Hear me I pray, O house of Israel, for your sake, that the tribes of Israel which are scattered about assemble themselves into the sanctuary of this place, to be of one accord without division in the way of Jesus Christ. I reach out to you all, that you come from out of the synagogues, and from out of the tabernacles, and from out of the temples, to partake of this heavenly calling, which is the Lamb’s book of life. Thus, set aside your pride and your flattering titles, that you might hear the voice of truth and do correction. For the hour draweth nigh when the gates of heaven shall be locked: I pray you are not found among the many that will be left without. For Israel is again divided as it was in the generation of Jesus and his apostles: some are from a holy tabernacle walking with blind steps: and some have left their birth of truth: and some are calling themselves of the holy city but in a decayed place: and some are Pharisees following the false doctrine of Christianity whose leader is Catholicism: and some are Sadducees stuck in the vain babblings of science: and some are Herodians abiding in the customs of Islam: and some are under the paganism of Egyptology: and some are not Jews by birth nor nature, but Greeks impersonating as Jews to deceive the earth for the sake of the guardian of Christianity (Satan). This is the work of the Devil, whose mother is Satan, and whose strength on earth is America, the Modern Day Roman Empire. Eternal Damnation be unto her, and all of her servants, whether Jew or Gentile, whether Muslim or Greek. Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD ELIHU JULY 26, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well this Sabbath in the Spirit of Elihu. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all give an ear to the knowledge and wisdom that come this Sabbath from the Spirit of Elihu. Dear saints of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: I pray always for the weak and confused among us, that they might hear instruction and do correction; and find the strength to endure their trials and tribulations that put them daily to a test. For we know that our Lord do send a messenger, and an interpreter, to show men the righteous way, and to be a helper in understanding. Yet many reject the knowledge of the truth: thus, becoming fools because they despise the knowledge and wisdom that corrects them from the error of their ways. These are those whose end shall be as it is written in the book of Proverbs: “Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction” (Proverbs 13:18): “He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul” (Proverbs 15:32). So should our Lord keep back that man’s soul from the pit, when he despises his own soul, which is a gift from Christ? Surely if a man refuse the instruction that come from the way of uprightness, he refuse the life of Christ, because whom the Lord love the Lord give instruction to their ears. So if we bring the instruction of the Lord to your ears, is your soul not then blessed to receive the gift of life? But if you refuse His instruction, then are you not a hater of your own soul? Surely God has sent His ministers to save all souls: but how can a soul be saved from the pit if it refuses instruction? Verily, when a man’s flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen, and his bones that were not seen stick out, has he not fallen into the grave? Where then is his soul? Indeed, if he be a man that heard instruction, and did correction before falling into the grave, his flesh shall become as fresh as a newborn baby, and he shall return to the days of his youth; because eternal life is belonging to the hearers and doers of God’s word, that their soul enter heaven, and that their spirit inherit a new vessel of flesh. But if there be a man that do not hear instruction, then his soul cannot be saved from the pit; and his grave shall be the everlasting days of hell. So we speak to the new ears that are sent before us daily, that they might hear instruction, and do correction, before they enter the grave, that their soul be not consumed away with their flesh. For we are not haters of any men, but lovers of all men, in the prayer that none be found without. So we deliver our message to all ears: even to the overseers of hell; that none might have an excuse. For if the truth is in you, then you know that which we speak is the truth. But then come pride, and envy, and jealousy, and ignorance, and foolishness, and wickedness, and evil, to keep a man from walking in the Light of Truth. Who then is worthy to be among the very elect, but the elect. So we pray for you all: for what say Elihu the messenger of God: “For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves” (Job 34:21-22). Dear brothers and sisters of mine: we are called this Sabbath Day into the Spirit of Elihu, the messenger of God, who spoke knowledge and taught wisdom to Job. So let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath beginning with Job 32:1-13: and let us Read and Hear: “SO these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God. Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzrite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion. I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words: Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man”. Beloved: let us continue in the Spirit of Elihu and turn our pages to Job 33:23-33: and let us Read and Hear: “If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth: He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man. To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee. If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom”. Now let us turn our pages to Job 36:1-12, to continue this Sabbath in the knowledge and wisdom of Elihu: and let us Read and Hear: “ELIHU also proceeded, and said, Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God’s behalf. I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; tea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge”. Now of all the things I have spoken this Sabbath in the Spirit of Elihu, this is the sum from his own words: “WHEREFORE, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up. Behold, I am according to thy wish in God’s stead: I also am formed out of the clay. Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me. Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy, He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths. Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man” (Job 33:1-12). And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD SOLITARY PLACE JULY 19, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in a solitary place, which is the peace of mind and safety from all things belonging to the world that seek to take me from His tranquil Spirit. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed to enter into His solitary place, which is not finding happiness from the presence of others, but in our own selves through the Spirit of His presence which brings comfort to our souls. My friends: The devil stole my daughter on the eve of this Sabbath day; not by force; but by the many ways of his deception. A broken-heart, the fear of loneliness, the lack of self-confidence; all these are the tools of the devil, which lead many into suicide; and into the path of wrong decisions. And though we rightfully give our children instruction, and guidance in the way of the Lord; they are filled with their own individuality as an existence of flesh, which has its own mind, which is a mind that can be easily deceived and manipulated because of its youth. So when our lost become not only a friend, but also one of our children, we set forth in the same manner to find that one that was lost. But if they hear us not, then they are no longer our friends or our children, but possessed with the spirit of a fool. What then can we do, but pray for them that they might see the light before it is too late: because our continuous instruction to them will have no effect on them; because fools despise knowledge and wisdom. So we pray for them, that our Lord might have mercy on them, to open their eyes beyond the feelings of flesh, which are the desires and pleasures of the world, even the confusion of the mind, that they might see the error of their ways. So dear bothers and sisters of mine: let us pray in the hope that our children in an early age enter into the solitary place of the Lord, which heals all things that come from the suffering of flesh in an instant, that they find rest in their discomfort and despair; and in all their trials and tribulations. For they too, even in their youth, are beset with all manner of trials and tribulations, which can only be overcome by trust in the Lord. For we can lead our children in the right way; but they themselves must meet their own challenge, to overcome the ways of flesh, and the foolishness of its thoughts. For we cannot hold their hand in every step of the way: so some will fall and get back up to follow in our steps to the end: and some will fall and go backwards: and some will fall and die in their youth. Yea for sure: many of the children from righteous parents have fallen from their dreams into the pit of a great whore; being influenced by cursed children and manipulated by those bearing a selfish love. Is our suffering as fathers and mothers not evident? But in our solitude is the knowledge that wisdom must always overshadow love. So we are not weakened to allow the ways of unrighteousness to dwell in our homes for the sake of having our children nearer to us: for have I not found favor in the sight of the Lord when I put no love before His love of righteousness? Some of you know what I am saying; and others are wondering: but this is the sum: “God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land” (Psalms 68:6). So to the children who do not hear the instruction from righteous parents, to give an ear to discipline, and return from sin, to serve the Lord in a solitary place; they shall die without knowledge: thus, what spirit can they become in their resurrection but that of a fool. Dearly beloved: I come before you this Sabbath in the meekness of our Christ, and in the solitude of His mind, to show my friends and their children His solitary place, which is freedom from pain, worry, and death. It is the healing of loneliness, the comfort from pain, the relaxation from worry, and a life without death. It is a place in our mind that is separate from the knowledge of men: for it is the knowledge of trust in the Lord, which surpasses all human understanding. It is a place no matter what the eyes might see or the flesh might feel, the invisible presence of the Lord is made known to them. It is a place where angels cry, that no man might see their tears. It is a place where sorrow and sighing shall flee away; and everlasting peace, and joy, and gladness shall abound. So I say unto the wives of just and holy men: know that we are called liken unto our Lord Christ Jesus, that we must enter into a solitary place, that is even far from our home, that we pray, and fulfill our labor for God, which is to teach the everlasting word of His Christ to all men, that they might hear instruction and do correction. For as it is written in the Gospel of St. Mark: “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee. And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth” (St. Mark 1:35-38); so shall it be also for my disciples and I. Now let us gather together this Sabbath in the solitary of families in the presence of our Lord, to open our Holy Bibles to the book of Isaiah: and let us Read and Hear: “THE wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and the blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong , fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: that shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away”. Beloved of God: Let us know that our Solitary Place is Zion; whose highway is called, The Way of Holiness. And let us all be found clean till the end; because the unclean cannot pass over it. So I pray that we and all of our children stay in the solitary place of our Lord, which is freedom from pain, worry, and death. Selah. DISCUSSION BOARD THE ANGELS OF GOD JULY 12, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well among the angels of God. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all stand as the angels of God. Beloved brothers and sisters of this holy congregation that is the assembly of Truth: May the Lord our God continue to shine His face upon those that gave their testimony for Jesus Christ this week on the message board of His sanctuary. For are they not the angels of God manifested by the wisdom of their words? So to our brother Glen, who is without shame to reveal his name before the world, and who gave us a message of True Faith, we salute you. And to the spirit behind the name Thank You, who gave us the message of Baptism; and to the spirit behind the name Silent, who gave us the message of Destination; and to the spirit behind the name One of the Readers, who gave us the message of Find The Way To Salvation: we salute you all in the fullness of our Lord; and send our prayers and blessings unto you. For your words are heard by the ears of heaven; and bear good fruit for the inhabitants of the earth. Dear inhabitants of the earth: Be watchful of the angels from God: for some appear openly and others are hidden. Some are known by their wisdom and understanding: and some appear to be naive and ignorant before men but are not. This thing is certain, that, many do not realize that the angels of God are found among the common folk; and among the least you would expect; and among the strangers you encounter in your daily walk. For some of these strangers are sent to give you guidance: and some are sent to give you strength: and some are sent to provide a test for you; to test if you will take advantage of their seemingly ignorance. But they are not naive, nor are they ignorant of that which they might appear to be. For they show this likeness as a test, that, the inhabitants of the earth might show the nature of their ways and be judged. For the Lord has visited many, and they knew Him not: not even by the kindness of His ways; neither by the wisdom of His words. So I say unto you all: Be watchful of strangers: for some are angels of God sent forth as a test. And though you may not realize it, it is still a test that will cause suffering to those who fail. I can only pray that when their suffering is set, they realize why it has fallen upon them, that they might find it in their heart to repent. Be watchful therefore of strangers: for some are angels of God sent forth to deliver knowledge, and guidance, and understanding. Be watchful of strangers: for some are angels of God sent forth to test your character that you be judged according to your doings: for that person you might think you have swindled or “gotten over” might be an angel of God sent forth to judge you by your works. Who then will have the last laugh? Be watchful I pray of strangers: for though some are indeed angels of God, others are not. Beloved of the Most High: Every man and woman is tested daily of the Lord. These are trying times with greater days to come. Who then can be prepared for the greater if they cannot pass the lesser? For sure, we know that we are all angels of God (we who serve the Lord in spirit and in truth); and that when we inhabit this vessel of sinful flesh, we are made lower than an angel of God, because of sinful flesh. So why are we sent down from heaven to inhabit sinful flesh? Are we not sent to teach others how to overcome their sinful flesh, that they become baptized in the true faith and be led into the way of salvation to receive the destination of a joint-heir to Christ? For it is written in the Old Testament: “Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him” (I Kings 19:18); and made known again in the New: “But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal” (Romans 11:4). Know therefore that we are one of the seven thousand reserved by the Lord by reason of our faith and fear of Him, to be equal to angels, that our spirits inhabit sinful flesh to baptize that flesh and the flesh of many on the earth that they become angels of God through the baptism of Christ from our hands. For our baptism come not from earth but from heaven: so if your feet is washed by us, how great then is your baptism? For if the angels of God have rank in spirit, do they not also have rank in flesh? Many are angry at me because of their jealousy; even because of the envy behind their jealousy: for they say angrily to me, “You think you know everything”. But I know only what the Lord has given me to know: for it is surely written; “To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth” (II Samuel 14:20). And it is written: “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things” (I John 2:20). So if we have received an unction from the Holy One, are we not made angels of God? And if we are angels of God, then do we not know all things? Surely if a man follow Scripture, he shall know all things, and be liken unto us; to stand in human flesh before men as angels of God. So move not away from us, but assemble yourselves among us. For as it is written; “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone” (Psalm 91:11-12); so be it now. For the angels of God are made into spirits, that the spirit of their righteousness inhabitant sinful flesh, that sinners be called to righteousness. For Christ came the first time in flesh with forgiveness to call the sinners to repentance: but He comes the second time in Spirit with Judgment to gather the righteous and cast out the wicked. We come before that final hour of Christ in this regeneration to once again call the sinners to repentance: and to establish before men the knowledge of the truth that their be none found with an excuse at His coming. For we are indeed angels made spirits and ministers of flaming fire (Psalm 104:4) sent forth to rebuke all that oppose our testimony, that their be none left standing to justify their falsehood according to Scripture. For our Lord Jesus Christ said it best; “The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear” (St. Matthew 13:38-43). And if there are any left without understanding still, let them hear this or be forever deaf: “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works” (St. Matthew 16:27). So to the new ear that has entered into this place, to hear the testimony of wise men; know that we allow the opinions of many to be heard in this sanctuary that the lost that seek the way of truth might distinguish between sound doctrine and vain words. For surely no gift from God can be received without sacrifice: how then can a man receive glory without the death of his sinful flesh? I preach this Sabbath and every Sabbath of the Lord in the hope that one out of the millions that are lost might be found, to repent of his sinful ways and come into righteousness, to hear the commandments of God, and to do them. For the death of a righteous man’s sinful flesh is the end of all pleasures belonging to unrighteousness; and all manner of wickedness according to Scripture. Truly, it is easy on this earth to live the life of disobedient children: but it is hard to live the life of righteous children. So is the manner of sacrifice to the Lord: it is not made easy, but hard. For the benefits of righteousness is great; and a treasure worth more than all the money in the world: But how shall a man receive it, if not by following in every footstep of Jesus Christ? So why say some that you cannot live as Jesus lived in flesh without sin? Was Jesus not also of sinful flesh (Romans 8:3)? For how could he, being the only begotten Son of God, be made a little lower than the angels (Hebrews 2:7-9), if he was not of sinful flesh? Yet, he overcame the nature of sinful flesh, to be baptized, and to preach the Gospel of Christ without sin. For if Jesus came in flesh not liken to us, how then can we be like him to walk in flesh without sin? How then can he command us to sin no more if we do not have the power within ourselves? I speak these words not to cause controversy but to bring forth understanding of the Scriptures, that you might know all things pertaining to the way of the Lord. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Psalm 103:1-22: and let us Read and Hear: “BLESS the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. He made know his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul”. Beloved brothers and sisters of mine: Of the things I have spoken this Sabbath, this is the sum: “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nie just persons, which need no repentance. Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth” (St. Luke 15:7-10). And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE DEAD JULY 5, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well among the living and not the dead. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and let the dead bury their dead. Dear children of the holy sanctuary; called from out of the many in the world to partake of this heavenly calling, and to assemble daily among this righteous congregation: I liken you to the prodigal son: for we all were lost at one time; but have found our way back home to God’s tabernacle, which is not made with man’s hand, but is the true body and spirit of Jesus Christ. For we too were dead like the many that partake of the world, who are friends to the world, that the things of flesh be their guide. But out of our love for righteousness, which comes by the inheritance of the spirit of righteous fathers, we are redeemed from the dead to receive a life that is eternal. So even though we are born of sin as an existence of flesh because of the nature of human flesh, we are redeemed from out of sin through the faithfulness of our spirit, which seek earnestly to do the will of God always. For we do not set ourselves apart from the way of righteousness at any time, but are found knowing that if we sin willfully after our redemption by the knowledge of the truth, there is no manner of sacrifice left that can save us from the dead. Be it known therefore that the knowledge of the truth is the blood of Christ, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins. For our God is a merciful God, who has given us grace and forgiveness of sins through the blood of His only begotten Son, who was sacrificed for our sake, that we be risen from the dead by him; that we should not in any more days know the death of sinners, but the death that is freedom from sinful flesh, which is overcoming the things of the world through our sacrifice to Christ. For we know that our King Jesus Christ is both Lord of the living and the dead: for he alone cast forth judgment upon them both: to the right hand is heaven; and to the left hand is hell. But we also know that God our Father, the Lord God Almighty, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, is not a God of the dead, but of the living. So what glory is there found in the dead? And if it be written: “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof” (Romans 6:12): how then can sin be justified in flesh? I pray every man has read the Sin sermon, that, he might understand what sin is? For we are not called to walk in the knowledge of the truth, yet continue in sin. So beware, even my disciples and I; for there is a thought in our mind that seek to justify the way of sin. Believe it not; and hear it not; for all unrighteousness is sin. Beloved church of the firstborn: There is an abundance of interpretations of Scriptures from men, which has made more confusion than if there were no Scriptures. This is the work of the Devil, whose spirit influences the minds of men with the desires of the world. For many because of these desires seek to be a friend to the world while worshipping God, that they might see themselves as justified in their unrighteousness by the grace of Christ. These are those that are hypocrites and fools; daily calling on the name of the Lord and reciting Scriptures that they might justify their unrighteousness before men and themselves. These are friends to world, who love the way of fornication, and adultery, and money, and all material possessions. These are even those preaching the word of God for money, to live better than the members of their congregation, and to bathe themselves in the wealth of the world. These were called in the beginning to be watchmen for the Lord, but have gone astray, because of the blindness and ignorance of their flesh. These are as it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah: “His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant” (Isaiah 56:10-12). Are these not among the dead?: those who also pollute the Lord’s Sabbath by not honoring it: but recite the words of Jesus, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath”; to justify their reason for not keeping the Sabbath. But they know not the meaning of those words, neither can they understand: for Jesus so said in the last chapter of the New Testament: “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city” (Revelation 22:14). Is not the Sabbath one of His commandments? Most assuredly, many speak without knowing: these are those whose spirits we know this day by reason of their testimony against us: and by reason of their ways. They know it not and understand it not; but they all are dead; them and the members of their congregation; because there is no life without the knowledge of life. I pray they hear this knowledge we bring through the wisdom of the Holy Ghost, that they might be redeemed from the dead, to walk among the living. For the life they have is temporary; being the illusion of life that is freely given to deceive many, that they see themselves as living happily in sin, as those of Isaiah 56:12; because it is in the power of the Devil to deceive many with this illusion. So then has he deceived many; enticing them to envy those that wallow in sin that they might join them. But if we are found upright and holy, then we do not envy sinners: knowing this, that the days of sinners are prolonged to test us of our trust and faith in the Lord. For we live not by the philosophy of men, neither by the things we can touch; but by every word of God: so this word we do know and trust: “Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off” (Proverbs 23:17-18). For sure: though sinners think they have life; they have it not: but are the living dead that shall be vomit out. For sin has no place in Christ: and if any man give testimony to the contrary, behold the voice of a deceiver, whose end and all that follow its path is eternal damnation. For sure, we know that we have life because of the faithfulness of our fathers, who were among the dead, but heard the voice of Christ as it is written: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live” (St. John 5:25); and do live: for the Lord our God is a God of the living and not the dead. For we know indeed that our flesh must die: though it be dead already, it must pass away, whether by natural causes or by the hand of evil men. But we shall not see death; neither shall we taste the bitterness thereof; because our flesh, which is sin, is dead before us; because we do not hear its words, neither follow its thoughts. For if we were to hear and follow the thoughts of our flesh, our flesh would be alive, and we would be subject to sin, because our flesh is cursed to sin. But we sin not: because our flesh is dead by reason of the baptism by the Spirit of Truth, which is the life of Christ. Thus, let a man know that life cannot found by the flesh, but by the Spirit of Jesus Christ only. For the dead are found living by flesh; but the righteous are found living by the Spirit. Some shall understand these words; but others cannot. I pray you all find understanding. Now to the general assembly of this website: We who are called to the house of the Lord are raised up from the death of our mortal body, to be alive in flesh, even as we are alive in spirit: because we who drink from the Lord’s cup worthily are dead because of our sinful flesh, but alive because of our righteous spirit which keeps us from obeying the thoughts of sin that is ever present in our existence of human flesh. So free yourselves from the dead, who are known on the earth as the children of men. For except a man is born of God, he cannot be free of sin: and except a man is free of sin, he cannot be found among the living, but among the dead. Who then are the dead, but the sons of men? Be therefore a son of God, that no sin be found in you. And if a man seek to rid himself of sin, let him first give an ear to the knowledge of truth, that he take a place in the only Church of God, which are the churches of Jesus Christ, that his feet be washed with the water of righteousness. For we know that only through Christ can the dead receive life: so let the dead come unto Christ in the spirit and truth of his name to receive the gift of life. For the righteous was buried with Christ in the beginning, that they be risen with him in the end. Now dear children of God: called into the assembly of the firstborn: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Ecclesiastes 9:1-5: and let us Read and Hear: “FOR all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them. All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten”. And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD THE LAND OF JUDAH JUNE 28, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the land of Judah, which is known among men as Washington, DC; but is Israel. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all receive the knowledge and understanding of His Holy Word. Beloved Children of Righteousness: Silence is a good thing when fools speak; because they only show your wisdom through the ignorance of their words. So fret not: for if any be taken away by their words, so must it be. But I tell you no lie and preach no falsehood, but in the perfect testimony of our Lord, to declare to the inhabitants of the earth that where I stand is the land of Judah and the phenomenon of the Second Advent. I bring opinions into the call of God’s worship: for it be the lost that are found feeding on opinions. But the upright and holy are blessed in the truth according to the written word, that no lie is found in their testimony. For as Jesus said unto the Sadducees, I say unto you that stand against the wholeness of my testimony, “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God”. Nevertheless, I love you still; but knowing this first that wisdom must always overshadow love. Beloved children of Israel; those who are Jews by nature and birth, being the first-fruits unto God and the Lamb: We are not given to a polluted land. For have our fathers not greatly polluted the land of old that was given as an inheritance to them? Truly: If perfection was found in the priesthood of the Levites who received the law of the Promise Land in the days of old, then what need would there have been for another priest to rise after the order of Melchisedec and not after the order of Aaron (Hebrews 7:11)? This knowledge is not of my own forming, but is found in the written word of our Lord. I am sent as His servant that some might see the things that have been hidden by the thick clouds and darkness that eclipse the truth, that many who were lost in the way to the City of Truth might be found. So I say unto you all, that you might see me as a friend, and not as an enemy: My steps are in the footsteps that our Lord left for us to follow, that the house of Judah from which I am, walk again with the house of Israel in a new land set upon the steps of Judah feet. For what men knew as the land of Israel is no more; but is decayed and waxed old; as the old covenant is decayed and waxed old. But think not that my testimony come only from out of the New Testament; for what is spoken in the New Testament was prophesied in the Old. So I speak unto you this Sabbath day in the spirit of Jeremiah, the prophet against the Gentiles (Jeremiah 46:1): and he that have ears to hear let him hear: “THEY say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD” (Jeremiah 3:1). For all of Israel was polluted by the children of Israel: for we know how Israel separated himself from Judah and became a den of whoredom and as a woman of prostitution: and how Judah also became a treacherous woman and played the harlot also. So we who are of the tribe of Judah are not without shame; for the guilt of backsliding is found on us also. So are we not to look for a new country, and a better land? It is written in the book of Jeremiah: “Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD. Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more. At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart. In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me” (Jeremiah 3:12-19). So I say unto the brothers and sisters of mine: Why did the so-called knowledgeable men of the Scriptures who claimed to possess sound doctrine not know that the way to the kingdom of God was to call on God as the Father? Why then did they rebuke Jesus for calling God his Father when it is “clearly” written in the Scriptures they claim to have learned, saying, “Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me”. Indeed, there are many that cannot see what is clearly written; neither hear what is plainly spoken. For if the pastors that feed the people are not wayward with their bread, then Jesus, neither I, would have been denied our rightful place before them. But prophecy cannot be changed: So though I preach these words many times over, I preach them not for the sake of those that seek to debate; but for the sake of the unlearned and the new ear that enter into this holy assembly each day that they might find the way to life. For men spoke openly against Jesus using Scripture and felt justified: so are those same faces before me now. Now in closing the testimony of that chapter from Jeremiah, I recite these words: “Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD. A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backsliding. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God. Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel. For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God” (Jeremiah 3:20-25). Dear children of Israel: To all the tribes that are scattered about: Migrate not to the land of old: for that which is old must vanish away; and all that be therein. But if you are among the righteous in the land of old, fret not; because the Lord our God shall gather you on His wings and bring you into the land of Judah, where the lost tribe of Judah dwell, and where the regeneration is set forth for the coming of our Lord and the New Jerusalem. Take heed to the words of the prophets: for their testimony was not given in vain. So I speak unto you also this Sabbath day in the spirit of Micah, saying as it is written, and I pray these words are heard and understood: “WOE to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil. In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields” (Micah 2:1-4). Is that prophecy of Micah 2:4 not fulfilled this day by the testimony against us on the message board of our sanctuary; saying, the land of America is not Israel? Are they not of Hebrew blood that speak against me in anger because they say I have changed their portion of the land, and have removed their inheritance, and have divided their congregations? Surely if Jesus had not received an ear from the people, then the chief priests would not had a concern to speak openly against him, that they might sway their congregation back. So is it now, that, the wayward pastors and the elders speak openly against me because many from among their congregations have given an ear to this testimony of mine that is contrary to the confusion and falsehood of their way. So to those that are stuck in their way: Let the Truth be your strength, and rise, and depart from their place of worship; because it is not the rest of the Lord. Now brothers and sisters of mine: Let us continue in the words of Micah: “Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction. If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people. I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee: I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them” (Micah 2:10-13). Brothers and Sisters of mine: The words I have just recited this Sabbath day is the prophecy of the righteous people leaving the gates of the old land to enter into the new gates of Israel, which is found in the land of Judah. For if we are called to rise and depart from out of a polluted place because it is not our rest, that we be gathered as a multitude of men to pass through the gate, and be gone out by it; are we not now in the right place of our rest because our king passed before us, and our God is our head? Let us understand then the knowledge of Hebrews 11:15-16; even Hebrews 8: 9-13. For do we not know that by the epistle to the Hebrews in the New Testament that we have not lost our inheritance from the Old? And do we not know that the New Testament is given for the sake of the Old? I declare unto you this day (as the embodiment of the Holy Ghost though many of you believe not), that we who are Jews from the tribe of Judah are rooted for the Second Advent in the land of America: and that any land called Israel save the land in America is called in vain. And if any man, woman, or child, who have been corrected by the New Testament, even the Old; should so speak those words again in vain; they have committed a blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which shall not be forgiven in this world, neither in the world to come. For time is at hand: and the only sign from heaven is the written word of God. So be it then: for from out of this land of Judah where my feet so tread shall come our Lord with the New Jerusalem, that we inherit the new land of the Canaanites as our fathers inherited the old land of the Canaanites. For there are indeed many interpretations of the Scriptures from the books of the Prophets: but what say the New Testament: “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation” (II Peter 1:20). So why is there confusion and debate over prophecy when it is not of any private interpretation? Is it not because men have read and not heard what they read? Is it not because men have only taken part of the whole truth? But we are not like them: but are raised from out of our confusion by the new birth that came from the Holy Ghost, which is the gift to all who receive their calling from the perfect testimony of our Lord, that they might enter the kingdom of God which is found in the land of Judah. For as it is written: “And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel” (St. Matthew 2:6); so must it be again. And the kingdom of Israel shall be restored by the work of his hands: knowing that the pen is mightier than the sword: and that the New Testament is greater than the Old: and that the testimony of Jesus Christ is greater than them all. So be patient in your watch: for a new heaven and a new earth will surely come. Now let us open our bibles this Sabbath: and let us Read and Hear Isaiah 26:1-21: “IN THAT day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, evento the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD. We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise, Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain”. Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD JUNE 21, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the last will and testament of Jesus Christ. May the Lord God of Israel that sent prophet William Saunders Crowdy in the spirit of Elias to restore all things; heal and comfort the sick and shut-in; and may the knowledge of His truth be heard by the lost that seek to be found. Beloved men and women of this general assembly: I give no title to the sermon this Sabbath but the day thereof: for the day is belonging to the world as a day that shall be remembered forevermore. For as it is written: “And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come? And he answered and told tem, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written” (St. Mark 9:11-13): so be it now. So I say unto you all, not as a prophet, but as one like unto the Son of man, called from out of the shadows of the unknown to be made known, and to be set on the earth with nothing, that prophecy be fulfilled; so hear me I pray: for on this twenty and first day of the third month, even unto the twenty and third day, there shall be signs revealed on the earth which signs shall be as the lightning of the Son of man that come from the east unto the west. Some shall see them as the signs they are; and others as coincidences; and others as a continuation of things that have already appeared; and some shall not see them at all. Nevertheless, the Lord is my witness: and I shall not want. For on this twenty and first day of the third month, in this year and years to come, shall many things occur around the world; because the days are passing quickly till the coming of our Lord; yet the fulfillment of his coming is still many days away. I pray for this thing: If a man knows nothing, let him at least know that the New Testament is greater than the Old Testament; even as the Lamb’s book of life is greater than the New Testament. And if any man should think I speak contrary to the Scriptures, hear the thoughts a fool. For he say and not I: “For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins” (St. Matthew 26:28). And he say: “This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me” (I Corinthians 11:25). Is that not clear Scripture? And is it not common sense to know that the New Testament is greater than the Old; because the Testimony and Revelation of Jesus Christ is the New Testament? And is it not also written in the New Testament: “In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away” (Hebrews 8:13). And if there is a New Testament and a New Covenant, is there not also a New Land with it? For is it not also written in the same epistle to the Hebrews: “For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned” (Hebrews 11:14-15). Why seek then to take the Old Testament over the New? Surely all Scripture is for edifying: but as Jesus Christ is greater than the prophets; so is the New Testament greater then the Old. Now to the wise men I say this: Though the New Testament is greater than the Old, they both are indeed of One that is the Holy Bible, which Scriptures are profitable for doctrine, for rebuke, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness as it is written. But how can a man be righteous if he take the words of the Old Testament over the words of the New? And how can a man be righteous if he take the words of any over the words of Jesus Christ? But even as the New Testament is greater than the Old: the Lamb’s book of life is greater than the New Testament. For what say the Revelation of Jesus Christ about the New Jerusalem: “And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life” (Revelation 21:27). Is that not clear Scripture that the Lamb’s book of life is greater than the New Testament? For if nothing can enter into the New Jerusalem, but that which is written in the Lamb’s book of life, how great then is the Lamb’s book of life? Is it not greater than the things that are written in the Old Testament; even in the New Testament? For if there be a Father, and a Son, and a Holy Ghost; then are they not each worthy to be an author? For we know that the Father is the author of the Old Testament: and that the Son is the author of the New Testament. So is the Son then greater than the Father because the New Testament is greater than the Old? Only a fool would believe: but a wise man know that the Father has given all that He has into the hand of His Son, that the Son stand as God before men. For is it not written in the red letters of Jesus Christ, which are the words spoken directly from his mouth, saying: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they might have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city” (Revelation 22:13-14). And did he not say, “Blessed are they that do his commandments”? So who is Jesus speaking of if not his Father? Know then that the Father and the Son are one; and that all authority is given to the Son by the Father. So who then is the Holy Ghost? Is he not the gift to us all that we might be joint-heirs with Christ? Is he not the Spirit of Truth; even as the Father and the Son are Truth? Verily I say unto you all that he, the Spirit of Truth, is the author of the Lambs’s book of life: such is why Jesus said: “Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” (St. Matthew 12:31-32). Know therefore then how great the Holy Ghost is in his authorship, which is the Lamb’s book of life in my right hand. But many wonder, Is that which I hold in my right hand authentic? I let you be the judge. For how righteous can a man be if I correct him with the New Testament, and he rebuke me with the Old? I declare these words to you who are born of strange children, whose mouth speak pride, and whose right hand is falsehood: Pray not for me; but rather pray for yourselves, that you might be found standing in the Lord without being vomited out. For as men were in the days of Jesus, so are they again in these days. For as the children of Israel were stirred in controversy among themselves; so are they again: because nothing has changed from the ancient of days except modern times: truly the people and the faces remain the same. So be it: for prophecy cannot be changed: and all things must be as they were when Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist that the regeneration be fulfilled. To those who are newly called into this assembly: Think not that I am sent to debate with men: for I am not sent to debate; but to give correction and instruction in the true way of the Lord. And if there be one that is admonished by me, they are admonished according to righteousness. So am I not then justified according to the wisdom of the Scriptures to reject those that continue in the way of a heretic after the second admonition? Be not mistaken: for I come in the love of God, and with the mercy of His Christ, to admonish a third and fourth time; even a fifth before I give rejection. Am I am not here then to save the ignorant; even those that are filled with pride? There is no greater pain to my flesh than to see those of Israel not know the way of Israel when it is revealed to them. But these things must be, because prophecy cannot be changed. So speak your own way, and lean into your own understanding, because you are the resurrected seed of strange children that denied your own Lord when he was standing before you freely giving miracles and blessings. Let your confusion be added to those who drink the wine of confusion and eat the bread of falsehood: for cursed children are they prepared for the slaughter. These are those that have ears to hear but cannot hear: and eyes to see but cannot see. Is it not therefore a waste of time to teach them? We teach them not: but the many among them that have a chance to be saved by the knowledge of the truth. For we know this to be certain: “The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth” (Psalms 145:17-18). So waste not time in the little we have: for as it is written: “But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain” (Titus 3:9); so let it be. Beloved: If there be any man that know me, let him know me as I am: not as one that is good; but as one always seeking to be good through our Lord Jesus Christ. For everyday my hands are at war and my fingers prepared to fight the demon inside me, yet also, the many demons around me. But through Jesus Christ which strengthen me, I have prevailed to continue upright and holy in the perfection of our Lord. This thing I do by prayer and fasting in the strictness of His commandments. And in the knowledge of His holy word I stand before you not ashamed; neither am I lost; but prepared for the longsuffering of a saint. I pray: measure me not by the number of my words; but by the substance of its meaning: for what I bring to you is as true as the Rock of Ages. Now I speak these words for the broken hearted among us: As it is written: “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds” (Psalms 147:3): do believe and put your trust. For I say to the broken hearted this Sabbath: Whether your heart be broken by the desires of this world, or by the wickedness of another, or by the doings of your own self, be not taken over by the demon inside you, that you seek to rid your own life or the life of another. For the pain of a broken heart shall pass away: because healing will come even though it might seem far away. And after the healing come blessings; and with the blessings is joy and happiness. So believe in the word of God: and He shall bring you comfort and rest during your pain and suffering. For at the end of all suffering in the hope of God’s promise is a crown of righteousness. And if you endure in righteousness unto the end, that which you receive shall be greater than that which you lost. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Exodus 19:1-12: and as it is our custom, let us stand up to Read and Hear: “IN the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. For they were departed from Repidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount. And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD. And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai”. And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD THE NARROW PATH JUNE 14, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the narrow path that is the way of Christ. May the Lord God of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all in His narrow path that leads to life everlasting. To the beloved people of God: the righteous seed of Europeans, and Asians, and Indians, and Latinos, and Africans, and Arabs, and Jews: Greetings from the church of the firstborn in the love that is Christ Jesus: I salute you all in the hope of our Lord that none of you be omitted from the communion of the Holy Ghost in the kingdom of our God. I send prayers and blessings to you all in the strength of God’s name; whose name shall reign forever and ever; and whose reward is at the end of your tribulation. Thus be patient my friends and trust in the hope of our Lord, to endure all hardships and burdens: for the least of these things to the greatest are given for a reward at the end. Thus, be not filled with stress and anxiety; for all things that come upon us in our daily walk up the narrow path work together for good. For in the narrow path we live by the strictness of the Scriptures with the hope of its fulfillment; not yielding to the things that weaken our faith; neither to the worship of spirit without truth. For in the narrow path there is no room to go to the left, neither to the right, but back or forth. He that goes forth finds the everlasting life of Christ: he that goes back finds death everlasting: he that go back and forth is a hypocrite whose end come without mercy. So when we look at the narrow path, there are only a few found at the end; because the narrow path is strict in the commandments; and cannot be achieved without the discipline of Christ. For many rather go the way of the broad path by justifying their unrighteousness with the words, “God understands”. These are the many that seek the way of leniency always: having no discipline for a righteous life: using excuses from the world not to keep the Sabbath, and the things committed to God. But are we not called, even in the days of Paul, and by his own testimony, to be holy, undefiled, and separate from sinners? Is it not written by Paul, whom the many in the broad way claim to honor as the greatest apostle, “Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity” (II Timothy 2:19). So be it then, that they should abide in his words that lead to the narrow path: but they seek only to hear the words that allow them to deceive themselves; because they seek the leniency of Colossians 2:16 to continue in their unrighteousness; and the leniency of I Timothy 5:23 to continue in their drunkenness. Is it not blasphemy and vain worship if you call on the name of the Lord to continue in unrighteousness? It is high time that every man be held accountable for every idle word that he speak: for many are perpetrating a fraud in the name of the Lord. Going about as if they are holy men of God but are lost and confused; quoting scriptures while ignoring other scriptures; contradicting the words of the New Testament with the Old; and contradicting the words of Jesus Christ himself with the words of an apostle. These are those that pick and choose over the word of God: taking that which allows them to be comfortable in their own way of understanding, which is the broad way that leads to destruction. Are they not delusional? Yet, they call me a madman and delusional because I expose the error of their ways. But if they were righteous people, would they not accept correction and change the error of their ways, instead of continuing to try and prove themselves right when they have been proven wrong. But the Scriptures cannot be changed: for these are lost souls cursed to have ears to hear but cannot hear; and eyes to see but cannot see. So be it then: but the apostle the many in the broad way claim as the greatest, said it best, though they hear him not: “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them” (II Corinthians 4:3-4). Let us know then, that in the claim of many to believe, they believe not; because narrow is the path and strict is the way to the life of Christ that the many do not adhere to. For if they were hearers of Paul’s word, whose words they say they put their trust, then they would have heard him say: “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment” (I Corinthians 1:10). So are these not those that hear only what they choose to hear? For if Paul was a servant of Christ, did he not teach the customs of Christ? How then can a man bring Christianity into the way of Christ as if Jesus began a new manner of worship? For Jesus said: “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (St. John 5:39). Do we not know by reason of our common sense, that at the time in which those words were spoken by Jesus, the only written Scriptures before men were found in the Old Testament? So if men had searched the Scriptures of the Old Testament, they would have known the doctrine of Jesus that they called strange. For he said: “For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me” (St. John 5:46). And he said: “But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words” (St. John 5:47). Truly, if our fathers had known the Scriptures of the Old Testament, then they would not have been confused by the New. So is it also now, that if men knew the Scriptures of the New Testament, they would not be confused by the Lamb’s book of life. But all things are as they were in the First Coming, that men might see the First before the Second; because these things must be for the fulfilling of prophecy. And if we are wise in the word to have searched through the Scriptures, to come into the knowledge of the mystery of the Gospel, then we bear understanding of these words in the Epistle to Titus: “But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself” (Titus 3:4-11). Dear children of the earth: I come not to take any man from the way of Christ, neither to cast any man into damnation. But as it was, so must it be again, that the Son of man is crucified, and the third day rise again. Even the scribes, whose spirits are among us today as the Elders of Yahudah and others, are set before me. Indeed if a man search the Scriptures, he shall find that the time at hand is a repeat of the days when Jesus stood before us as a vessel of flesh, which days are known according to Scripture as the prophecy of the regeneration. Nevertheless, there remain various interpretations from men of Scriptural prophecy: but if we stay in the narrow path, we know there is no private interpretation of prophecy (II Peter 1:20): so what debate can there be over the written prophecy? Surely it means exactly what it says, whether it be seen with the eyes of flesh or with the eyes of spirit. So who are those that seek to debate with us but heretics: being subverted and condemned by the ignorance in them that has turned into foolishness. These are those like unto the ancient scribes and Pharisees, who thought they knew the way, and were confident in their denial of Jesus as the Chosen One. These are the spirits of them that are among the many standing in the broad path speaking great things against the few in the narrow path. These are the wicked who are sent forth by the spirit of their father, the devil, that they might cause those in the narrow path to lose the faith to continue forward and return to the broad way of the many lives doomed to death eternal. But we who are called in the unction from the Holy One, know the truth, and cannot be lead away; because we have ears to hear and do hear and eyes to see and do see the written word of God. But even though we hear and see the Truth; if it be not for the strength of God that we pray daily for, we would faint along the way; like some among us that will wither away because they lack the discipline needed to stay in the narrow path. These we pray for but cannot change: because prophecy cannot be changed. But we pray for them anyway: and love them still. For if we stay in the narrow path, then we are under the command to love one another, even our enemies: because in the narrow path every step we take is in the peace of God which surpass all understanding as it is so written in the epistle to our brethren whose seed is in the Philippines (Philippians 4:7). I salute all the saints therein this Sabbath; beginning with my mother Maxima Flores. Beloved saints of Christ: called from out of the many religions upon the earth: I salute you all this Sabbath in the patience of our Lord, that none of you become unruly, to riot and make war. For if we stay in the narrow path, then we know that the rebirth of the Son of man which hour is at hand begins as it was in the days of our Lord Jesus Christ; saying, “For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them” (St. Luke 9:56): and ends as it is written in the Gospel: “The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth” (St. Matthew 13:41-42). Forbid us not: for we who stay in the narrow path are patient in our faith: and steadfast and un-moveable in the word of our Lord. For we wait patiently for the hour of our fulfillment in the meekness of our Christ: giving testimony along the way that one might hear us and repent from sin to join us in our journey to life everlasting. For the sacrifice has been made to cleanse us all from sin: But in the narrow path; if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there is no more sacrifice found for our sins (Hebrews 10:26). How then can a man continue in the narrow path and be righteous and holy still? Let him think not that his transgression has not been made known, or that he has been forgiven, because he continues in the way of communion with the saints. For as it is written: “Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body” (I Corinthians 11:27-29); so shall it be. So I say unto you all who seek the way of Christ in this regeneration that is the renewing of the Holy Ghost: When the feet of man is washed in the knowledge of the truth, that he enter the strait gate of the Holy Ghost; there can be found no forgiveness of transgression. For he said, and it be so: “Wherefore I say unto you all, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” (St. Matthew 12:31-32). Now brothers and sisters of mine: I say unto you all: Whether a man believe me to be chosen of Christ or not; if he be true in his love for Christ, he know in his heart and mind that he cannot be found in sin at Christ coming. I conform you not to restrict your individuality; for there is no correct way to do the right thing. Therefore, in your daily walk up the narrow path, while the many walk down the broad path, let your individuality have its place; because the strictness of God’s commandments are not grievous. He who has understanding, let him understand. And he who seeks understanding, let him ask, and he shall receive it. Beloved: Be not as the many that take the name of Christ conditionally: for the narrow path is unconditionally. But yet many are hypocrites, and ignorant, and fools; even disillusioned to think that by calling on the name of Christ while wallowing in sexual immorality they will be accepted into the kingdom of God. Did not our Lord preach to the churches of his name in the book of Revelation the way of his path? And did he not say to the churches that they have left their first love, and that they hold the doctrine of Balaam, and that they allow the spirit of Jezebel to seduce good men to sexual immorality, and that he has not found their works to be perfect before God, and that they are lukewarm? And did he not say that those who are lukewarm, he will vomit them out of his mouth? Are they not then like the many with good intentions but are on the path to hell? Indeed they are the resurrected souls that are written in St. Matthew 7:21-22. And their end shall be the same ( St. Matthew 7:23). Brothers and Sisters of mine: I pray for all flesh to be saved: but no man, nor woman, neither any child is saved by the baptism from water alone. For he say: “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (St. John 3:5). And is it not also written in the Gospel: “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire” (St. Matthew 3:11). Is the Holy Ghost not the Spirit of Truth? And is the baptism by fire not the fulfilling of the patience of a saint? For this thing is certain: None are saved till they endure the baptism by fire, which is the trials and tribulations of a saint: which things shall surely come as it is written in the days of the fifth seal (Revelation 6: 9-11); and in the 13th chapter of Revelation. So I pray for you all, that every one of you endure unto the end. Brothers and Sisters of mine: To many my testimony is full of controversy: but if it were not, how then could prophecy be fulfilled? So I say unto you all: and the thing is certain: The narrow path is the way, and truth, and life, belonging to Jesus Christ. And if these things had not been hidden from men, then the prophecy could not be fulfilled. But that which was hidden, has now been revealed, that those with the senses of spiritual discernment receive the final clues that solve the mystery of the Holy Scriptures. This is the blessing for the sons of God whose spirits are resurrected before us this day, that the unlearned might learn and be saved. For we, being sinners and unlearned also at one time, are now raised to save others, that, they might repent from the broad path of the many, and enter into the narrow path of the few. For he said: “for many be called, but few chosen” (St. Matthew 20:16). And he said: “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few” (St. Matthew 9:37). And is it not also written in the Gospel: “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able” (St. Luke 13:23-24). So what is the definition of strait? According to the College Edition of Webster’s New World Dictionary of the American Language, the meaning of strait is a “narrow passage”. And if the passage is narrow, then is it not restricted in its steps? Truly I speak nothing of my own; but according to the glorious word of our Lord Jesus Christ. And in his priesthood do I stand before you each day, in hope and prayer for you all: knowing that some of you will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God come with power (St. Mark 9:1). Are these not those who stayed in the narrow path only to faint at the end? Let us know then by the knowledge of the Scriptures, that, the narrow path does not end at the sight of the kingdom; but is always and forever. For those that taste death after they have seen the kingdom of God come with power, are they not witnesses to the New Jerusalem? For we know that no man of righteousness can taste death except he become unrighteous: So by the knowledge that is given unto us by searching the Scriptures, we know that the unclean spirit shall return to our mortal body after we have received a new mind and a new heart in the Messianic Age, that it might find our vessel without prayer and fasting in the strictness of God’s commandments. But these things must be: so let the strong survive; and let those that are without be left out: for we are called into the union of living in flesh without sin. For by our inheritance from the Lord Jesus Christ we are made straight: and we pray every day that we be not crooked again. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. Matthew 7: 6-29: and let us Read and Hear: “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Therefore all things whatosover ye would that men sould do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the bloods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes”. Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE LOST SHEEP JUNE 7, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well. May the Lord God of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the lost sheep that seek to be found be gathered into His embrace. Beloved sheep of Israel: Do not seek the things that increase your ignorance, which are the things not according to the God of Israel. For many seek to be wise, yet fools do they become. And many seek to learn the Truth, yet further from the Truth are they. For there can be no wisdom in a man without the name of the God of Israel: and there can be no Truth found without the whole testimony of Jesus Christ. Yea for sure, many have left the commonwealth of Israel to enter into the way of the Egyptians; even all the ways of the Gentiles. These are lost sheep: searching for that which has already been found: and seeking to know what has already been made known. These are those that have come out from among us, but are not of us. These have gone astray; led by and leading many to sojourn in Egyptian mythology; and in all Gentile ideology. These are Jews by birth who by the hand of God have been delivered from out of the slavery in Egypt that is the land of America, but have forsaken their God as their fathers of old, to take up the Egyptian cross and the Roman cross as a symbol of worship. Verily, the Roman cross came by influence of the Egyptian cross, which symbolizes the heathenism of them both. Thus, neither cross has a place in the worship of Christ. For when he said, Take up the cross and follow me: he meant, as he took up the cross to walk to his death. For Christ did not take up the cross for the sake of worship; but to lay down his life for the word of God; that the prophecy of the Son of man be fulfilled. Be not mistaken as many have, to bear the cross as a symbol of Christ worship. For Christ took it not as a symbol of worship: but it was given unto him by the Gentiles, that his life be taken away on it. For we know that the unbelieving Jews delivered their Lord into the hand of the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified. And we know that those things had to be that prophecy be fulfilled: for he said to us when he was yet among us in the flesh of Jesus: “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?” (St. Matthew 26:53-54). And he also said: “But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled” (St. Matthew 26:56). So did Moses teach our fathers the way of the cross; even the Egyptian cross? God forbid: for Moses honored the blood of a Hebrew. And if any man know the way of Moses, how then can he not know the way of Jesus Christ?: for what has changed from the Old Testament to the New? It is indeed written in the New Testament: “MOREOVER, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ” (I Corinthians 10:1-4). So if the Rock that followed the children of Israel in the days of Moses was Christ, what then is the way of Christ? Moreover, it was spoken by Jesus Christ himself: “For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?” (St. John 5:46-47). The bottom-line my friends, is that, Jesus is not the author of Christianity, neither any of the prophets or apostles. But by subtle means, the devil has deceived many to become lost, and to take up the cross in the name of Christianity, or in the name of Egyptology. For when one become lost, because they left the narrow path for the broad path; being deceived by the many truths in the world; they have entered into the realm of confusion, and blindness with eyes to see. For there is indeed many truths in the world, which leads to a broad path, because in every religion there is found some truth. But if the real world is the spiritual world, then there is only one Lord, one faith, and one baptism, which is the one reality of God Almighty, and the narrow path that leads to life. In philosophical language, any existence is a truth: but reality is the past, present, and future: because God Almighty was, is, and shall be. So there are truths before men; and then there is the Truth, which is Reality, which is one God Almighty and His only begotten Son. Here is wisdom for the students of philosophy: Reality stretches beyond actuality; because actuality is the past and present; but reality is the past, present, and future; because tomorrow will come and you will certainly reap what you sowed. Now brothers and sisters of mine, we know that according to Scripture, Paul preached the cross (I Corinthians 1:18): but we also know that Paul knew in part (I Corinthians 13:9): and that he followed the New Testament by the spirit and not the letter (II Corinthians 3:5-6). For Paul, being made an able minister of the New Testament, was commanded to fulfill his purpose of teaching the Gentiles the name of Christ by any means necessary. But I Cornelius say unto you all; being one greater than Paul because I am not sent in part, neither am I sent in the spirit without the letter; but in the whole testimony of Jesus Christ that his prophecy be fulfilled: so be it then: for the hour come, and now is, that you must put away the Gentile cross from out of your place of worship; because it has no place in the kingdom of God. Indeed the things that were done in part have passed away; because perfect has come by reason of our testimony in the Church of God. But you who refuse to break the chain of ignorance; to keep the things of Christianity, and the things not according to the commandments of God: What shall become of you when that chain is cast into hell? For the lost sheep that seek not to be found are led down the path to death everlasting: for they are stiff-necked and stubborn in their ignorance that has turned to foolishness: being Jews living as Gentiles; and gentiles to the Gentiles. Thus become wise, and cast out your vain worship, which is all faith save the Hebrew customs and traditions in the true name of Jesus Christ. Now I know I have angered many because of this testimony, that some among us will depart from this place. But this thing must be: for all among us are not of us. And I am not sent from On High to satisfy your own understanding; but to teach the Truth of Christ in the words of Christ that are already written before you. For though I am given power to bring new Scriptures by reason of the Lamb’s book of life, which is the last will and testament of Christ: I give way to the Scriptures of our Lord in the Holy Bible that men might know from where I come. I speak these words not to convince you, but to give testimony that the Spirit of Truth has come down to slice through the clouds and thick darkness that surround the Word on the earth. And if a man should say: If the word of God is so powerful, why then is it surrounded by clouds and darkness, that good sheep cannot find the way? I say unto that man and all who agree: It is written of the Lord in Psalm 97; saying, “Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne” (Psalm 97:2). So if clouds and darkness are round about Him, so then is clouds and darkness round about His word. Thus, we need a Shepherd and a Bishop of our souls to lead us through the clouds and thick darkness that we may enter into His Holiness. Such is not I, but the Lord Jesus Christ, whose servant I am. And if I, being his servant, am denied by you; have you not also denied him? Indeed our Lord taught us that the servant cannot be greater than his master: but he also taught us that if a man deny the servant of Christ the man has also denied Christ. And if a man should question whether we are True servants of Christ: what say the Scriptures: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (II Timothy 3:16). So where is the confusion, but in your own minds. For the Lord our God is not the author of confusion: for His truth is given to us to reveal to you according to that which is already written, that you might know we deliver the whole truth of God. And know this thing; for it be certain: He that come in the whole truth is sent with a divine purpose. So we, being spirits sent down from the throne of Christ to be shepherds of His flock, that we fulfill His will and gather the lost sheep that seek to be found. And we need not look under rocks, neither in caves; for when they hear our voice they do come. And the twelve apostles that have come down for the regeneration (St. Matthew 19:28) are sent only to the lost sheep of Israel: But I Cornelius, raised in the Spirit of Truth, am not sent only to the children of Israel; but to the Gentiles, and to kings, that the remnant of the lost sheep belonging to Christ fold be gathered under one Shepherd, who is the Bishop of our souls, and the Holy One of Israel. For if you are the true sheep of Christ, then you are belonging to the commonwealth of Israel; thus spiritually grounded in the customs and traditions of a Jew in Christ. So to you who have been scattered that you have lost your way by reason of the clouds and thick darkness, we bring you the light, that, you no longer sojourn in Egyptology, and in the way of other Gentiles. For many have been freed: and in their liberty they have become lost sheep, wandering as prey for hirelings and wayward pastors. These are those who are in Babylon and know it not: and have sought Egypt for knowledge but is ignorant still. So I recite unto them: and to all who have an ear to hear: “Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid: be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land. But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God, Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell: And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there; Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die. So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them. For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more. The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day. For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD our God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD ; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it. And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you. Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn” (Jeremiah 42:11-22). So the line is drawn: to the right hand are the sheep: and to the left hand are the goats. And when the Son of man shall come in his glory with his army of holy angels, he shall gather all the nations, and separate the sheep from the goats. And the sheep shall go into everlasting life: but the goats shall go into everlasting punishment. And the king of the goats whose seat is in a White House: his eyes shall consume away in its holes: for the sight of heaven shall burn his eyes because he is not worthy to behold it. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. Matthew 25:31-46: and let us Read and Hear: “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal”. So I say this Sabbath unto the new ear: Repent of your ways and understanding that you humble yourself to accept the way, and truth, and life, that is Jesus Christ. Search the Scriptures: and you shall find that we are justified in our rebuke; and worthy to give correction. Humble yourself in the manner of Christ: and become one belonging to His fold that you may enter into the holiness of His sanctuary, which is not a building, but a righteous heart and mind. For the offering and tithes we give to Him are not of mint; but the sacrifice of serving God before all things and the commitment to avoid sin. Beloved people of God: I give testimony this Sabbath as I do each Sabbath, that the lost sheep that seek to be found be found. If you have not given a testimony on the message board of this church, give a testimony; because the eyes and ears of the Lord are upon this place. Whosoever is ashamed of the Lord, the Lord is ashamed of them. And whosoever deny the Lord, the Lord will deny them. Search the Scriptures and learn the word of God that you be not hoodwinked and humbugged: for we seek not to tell you the word of God; but for you to see it for yourself. If we do not speak according to Scripture, believe us not. But if we do, you better believe; because it is not us that speak; but Christ in us. Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD   HOSANNA MAY 31, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in Hosanna the Highest. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the truth of Hosanna endure forever. Dear children of the new birth: Praise be the Lord: and Blessed are you that come in the true name of the Lord; for your work is not in vain. For I liken unto you, call on the Lord in my distress; and in my longsuffering; in the hope that is Christ Jesus; that the Lord might hear my cry. And in His mercy that endure forever, He answered me, and set me in His secret place, which is a large room, where the souls of all the saints and the holy apostles dwell. So who am I to fear? And what part of me can a man hurt but my flesh, which is given to suffering as a sacrifice to Christ. And if the generation of Jesus cannot pass away until all things are fulfilled, then are we not recycled spirits from the past? So who are those that help us in this regeneration, but our roommates from heaven? For though our spirits are set upon the earth in a vessel of flesh, our souls remain in heaven under Hosanna, in the blessing of eternal life which is our gift from God. For we are not called to the darkness of death; but to the light of life: in the anointment of Hosanna, which come not by man’s hand, but by the truth of God. For how are devils cast out from a man if not by the word of Hosanna? For what say the Gospel of St. Matthew: “When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick” (St. Matthew 8:16). So we know that we are given the power to cast out devils by the word of Hosanna, which is the word of God, and the praise of Christ. Dear brethren of the commonwealth that is Israel: We know that the Lord is on our side: and that we shall see our desire upon them that hate us. For the nations and the people against us, the Lord Himself shall lead an army against them to destroy them. And do we not know, that, the army of ten thousand saints who are with the Lord is us? For our death in this world is life that we might be with our Lord in the hour of His vengeance, which we, being counted as His priests, are also His soldiers. And though in flesh we are not men of violence: but in the wholesome of our spirit we judge and do make war. And in the true name of Hosanna, whose soldiers we are, we shall crush those that hurt our flesh with the sole of our feet: for they shall be as ants under the feet of a stomping man when we shall appear as an army of ten thousand angels to reap the vengeance of all who were tormented by the friends of this world. For these have surely sought to make us fall; and have sought to take away our life: but Hosanna is the Highest, and our strength and salvation. He alone has preserved us from death, to give us life eternal, that we declare His works among men. For this thing is certain: Whosoever is a friend of the world is the enemy of God (James 4:4). Therefore take up the stone that the builders of the world refused: for it has become the head stone of the corner, and is the Stone of Truth, which is the gate that the righteous shall enter. For we know that the Lord our God has laid in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation known as Hosanna, who came into the world as Jesus Christ, that we might be like him in flesh and in spirit. For if I shout Hosanna; do I not praise Christ? And if I praise Christ; do I not worship as Jesus worshipped? Indeed Hosanna is the praise of God: and is not Christ the praise of God? Beloved brothers and sisters in the true name of Jesus Christ: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. Matthew 21:1-16: and let us Read and Hear: “AND when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. And the blind and the lame came in the temple; and he healed them. And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?” Verily I say unto you all: Hosanna is the Lord Jesus Christ: for such is the perfection of praise. But the heathens, which are the children of men, are without life, and cannot praise the Lord, even as they call his name; because they call in vain. For whatsoever is done without faith is done in vain: and whatsoever is without truth is without faith. So dear children of the Lord: you are not belonging to the children of men; neither were you born of them. For they have eyes but cannot see: and ears but cannot hear: because they are alive in flesh but dead in spirit. So what can be their worship but vain words. Dear brothers and sisters: I need not continuously preach to you the importance of truth in worship: for our Master said it best in St. John 4:24. So be it then that we know the word of our Lord, that the ravening wolves in sheep clothing have no effect on us. And if a new ear is led away from our assembly by the mouth of a wayward Pastor, let him be led away: for he is not worthy to be counted among us. For if we abide in the things that are written in the Scriptures with the testimony of Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone, how then can we be misguided? Surely if any among us are led away, they are not belonging to us. For we are sent to gather the lost that seek to be found; that they might learn the way, and truth, and life that is Jesus Christ: which is the one Lord, one faith, and one baptism, as it is written in the testimony of Jesus. And let no man think I lessen the teachings of the prophets and apostles: for it was spoken by Hosanna: “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (St. John 5:39). Beloved: you who are called into this holy place for the assembly of saints: I leave you this Sabbath in the Spirit of David: “Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth” (Psalm 96:12-13). And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD    THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT MAY 24, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well. May the Almighty God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the unclean spirit be cast out from among those who seek the cleanness of the Lord. Beloved children of the Lord: There is an unclean spirit that we as sons of God can cast out of another: but there is also an unclean spirit that the man himself must cast out. This unclean spirit is embedded in that man; and come out by nothing, but prayer and fasting, save the Lord himself cast it out. So we that are called in the Spirit of truth, do cast out devils with the knowledge of the truth. But there be some that we cannot cast out; these must that man or that woman cast out by prayer and fasting. This is the unclean spirit that our Lord revealed to us when he was among us as Jesus of Nazareth. So let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Mark 9:17-29: and let us Read and Hear: “And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. And they brought him unto him: and when he saw them, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb spirit and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting”. Now if we read that same story in St. Matthew 17:14-20, we find that the disciples could not cast out that unclean spirit because of their unbelief. But not only because of their unbelief; but also because Jesus said in St. Matthew 17:21: “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting”. So let us know then, that, there is an unclean spirit that can only be cast out by prayer and fasting from the one who is possessed. Certainly, our Lord himself can cast out and command all things; but we who are disciples cannot be greater than our Lord. So though we are given the power to cast out unclean spirits (St. Matthew 10:8), and even if we have the faith that all things are possible, there is an unclean spirit that we cannot cast out of a man. For the key word in Christ testimony is “kind”: he say, “This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting”. But that man or that woman who is possessed by this kind of unclean spirit need not suffer if they believe; because by their prayer and fasting in faith, that foul spirit shall be cast out. For the power to overcome all things is given into our hand, that if we are of faith, nothing shall be impossible to us. For there are things that we need help from others; but there are also things that we must do ourselves. Now let there be no man who think that we are sent to heal as in the ancient of days: for an adulterous and sinful generation seek after a sign: but the only sign given from heaven in this regeneration is the knowledge of the truth. For we whose Spirit is sent down from heaven, come not to heal the man blind of his external eyes; but he that is blind to the truth. Neither do we come to raise the man dead of flesh; but he that is dead of spirit, that he might walk and talk not dead on his feet. We who are called from the spirit of our past come not in the miracles that many seek as a sign from the Lord: for those wonders are given into the hand of the Antichrist and his servants. So be not deceived by a name: for the Antichrist speaks in the name of Christ, but as a wolf in sheep clothing is he. So beware: for if any speak the name of Christ without the truth of Christ, they have not spoken the name of Christ; but are even as the unclean spirit of the Antichrist. Dear children of the earth: I Cornelius, raised in the flesh of the common man, whose Spirit descended from heaven that I be called to know all things; fulfilling the predestination of my calling through the prophecy of our Lord; am sent before you in the grace and truth of Jesus Christ to cast out the unclean spirit from within you, that you might be presented faultless before the presence of the Lord’s coming, which hour is nigh. And beside me are many though few compared to all the earth: these are the holy apostles and the disciples of truth. And they all have power to cast out devils with the knowledge of the truth. But if there be an unclean spirit in you, that will not come out by hearing our testimony; it is not because we lack faith; but because it is that deaf and dumb spirit that can only be cast out by prayer and fasting from you. And if you are true of faith in your prayer, and in your fasting, then that kind of unclean spirit shall be cast out by your own hand, and you shall be able to walk in flesh not dead on your feet, that when the Lord come, you be found worthy to be received. And think not that an unclean spirit cannot be in you, because you call on the name of Christ daily. For if you are called children of the earth, then you are not yet born of God, to be cleansed in the purity that is the knowledge of the truth, but are lost sheep in the midst of wayward shepherds. For little and nothing do you know until you have received the Lord in spirit and in truth: for the Lord seek such to worship Him. So dear children of the earth, called to partake of this heavenly calling, that you be converted and born again in the adoption of Jesus Christ, I pray you receive the gospel of Christ Jesus as it is written; forsaking your own understanding that you accept his testimony as it is written. For unless one is baptized in the baptism of Jesus Christ, which is the knowledge of the truth; they are unclean and unworthy despite the righteousness of their heart. For a righteous heart and foolish mind is prey for the wiles of a devil: and is the haven for an unclean spirit. So be upright in the truth: keeping the name of Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth; that you are found in the holiness and perfection of Christ. For what is the perfect man? Is it not the whole duty of man? Verily, a perfect man is one that abides in the whole duty of man, as it is written by the Preacher: “Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Now beloved children of the new birth: We know that the unclean spirit is cast out by the power of our Lord: But what happens to the unclean spirit when it is cast out? I speak as our Lord so spoke, that men might know he taught us all things: “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation” (St. Matthew 12:43-45). Take heed then, that when the unclean spirit is cast out, and he return to that from which he came, he find the vessel not empty, but the habitation of truth; then shall he have no place on earth to dwell, that he must return to hell. For when that unclean spirit is cast out from your vessel, the grace that is Jesus Christ which has cast it out shall clean and embellish your vessel: but you must place the truth of Jesus Christ in your vessel, that your vessel become the habitation of the way, and truth, and life that is Jesus Christ. For many, when they have been cleansed of a foul spirit, do not take up the clean spirit, but remain empty; these are those that have become worse than before their baptism by water. But we know through the knowledge of our Lord, that, the baptism of Christ is by water and fire. Thus, no man can overcome death without faith. So pray daily, and fast often: for without faith your vessel is empty; and without the knowledge of the truth there can be no faith in you. For what is faith: but the way, and truth, and life that is Jesus Christ? So to you who are not with us: how then can you be saved from the unclean spirit, that you be not counted among this wicked generation? For our testimony alone cast out that unclean spirit that dwell in darkness: but if the unclean spirit in you be that kind that come out only by prayer and fasting, because it is deaf and dumb that it cannot hear our words nor perceive our testimony, which is that kind that we bear witness to on the message board of this website: I pray you have the faith to pray and fast that that kind of unclean spirit be cast out from within. I pray for you all this Sabbath day in the love and truth of the one Lord, one faith, and one baptism of Jesus Christ. Amen. WAYWARD PASTORS MAY 17, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the knowledge of the truth. May the Lord God of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may His keep us all from the snare of wayward pastors. To the children of the prophet Crowdy, who have turned away from the teachings of their father, to lead many astray in the name of the Church of God and Saints of Christ: I come before you this Sabbath not to lessen your rebuke; neither to hold back the condemnation of your judgment: For you have not taken heed to the epistle that I wrote unto you in the Spirit of truth; so be it then that you are cut off and left without: for even your prayers have become an abomination to the Lord. But to those among you who are ignorant of the truth; not knowing the deception that has been laid upon them by these wayward pastors of wickedness; I cry out to you this Sabbath, that my voice be heard around the world, and enter through the heavy wax that has been placed in your ears by these wayward pastors that are not of us, but are gone out from among us, to deceive wholesome saints along the way. Wherefore, I say unto you that your leaders, whom you proclaim as prophets and priest are profane men full of adultery and fornication. They walk in lies and teach in darkness; guiding many righteous hearts into the error of their ways. These are the dumb asses speaking with man’s voice, whose judgment is death and hell. These are wayward pastors whose pride and arrogance has deceived them. To the children of men, whose trust is in their pastors that are blind to the way, and the truth, and the life: I come before you this Sabbath to admonish you and your pastors, that you might do correction, and be not counted among the heretics: for every one of you call on the name of the Lord in vain. Not because you do not know the way, the truth, and the life; but because you have been shown the way, the truth, and the life, yet in your stubbornness abide not. And if there be any among you seeking understanding of my testimony with a sincere heart, one only need to take up the Seven Keys, and to read the Stone of Truth; even the things that are written on this website. Indeed, what manner of overcoming can you do when you hold onto the chain that manifest evil work. Verily I say unto you all: Until a man breaks the chain of unrighteousness he shall forever be unrighteous. For you cannot serve God and mammon: yet, many do. These are those whose end can only be death and hell. For is it not written: “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all” (James 2: 10). So how can a man honor the Sabbath on the first day of the week and not the seventh day as the Lord commanded and be not guilty? And how can a man love the riches in the earth and the riches in heaven? Indeed he cannot love them both, because Christ say, You cannot serve God and mammon. And Christ say, Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. So break the chain of Christianity, which are all things belonging to Christianity: and break the chain of worship without Christ, which are all things of worship that do not include the way of Christ. Break the chain of ignorance, and you shall be set free of ignorance. Break the chain of darkness, and you shall see the light. For the power to free yourselves is given into your own hand: and the knowledge of Christ doctrine, which has confused many, cannot be made any easier than it already has. Dear people of the earth: I call for the righteous seed of the European, and the Indian, and the African, and the Latino, and the Asian, and the Arab, and the Jew: for these are the souls of the seven churches of Christ. So I call out to them, and they shall come, because they can hear the voice of truth, because the Spirit of truth is in them. Nevertheless, there are some that shall fall by the wayside, and some that shall be snared away. These are those that shall faint in the time of their endurance: and those that when they hear the voice of truth shall ask their wayward pastors for guidance and be led astray. But we, who are called in the knowledge of the truth, being Disciples of Christ, are made known by our words alone. For even if our vessel of flesh should fall to hypocrisy; our words in the spirit of Christ remain true. But if our vessel should fall to hypocrisy, then we are not spirits of Christ sent down from heaven, but the souls of men raised up in the earth. And if we are raised up in the earth, then we are sheep and not Shepherds. And if we who are sheep try to take the place of a Shepherd, will we not lead the flock astray? But we who are called in the knowledge of the truth are made in the fullness of Christ vessel as we walk in flesh, that we be not counted among the hypocrites, but worthy to hold the authority to execute judgment; because we are the sons of God. And if a man be true in Christ, then he know us because we speak every word of the Holy Scriptures with the testimony of Jesus Christ above all things. So know then, that, when you have entered into this place, that you have entered into the sanctuary of Christ: and that no man can be found in the fullness of truth save he that bring the testimony therein. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Jeremiah 23:1-8: and let us Read and Hear: “WOE be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I will set up shepherd over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land”. Beloved hearers of the Word: I need not preach long to you each Sabbath: for there is an archive for the new ear; even lessons to study during the week. So if a man is in search of the truth, he shall find the whole truth in this place. For there are bits and pieces elsewhere: but the whole truth is written in the Lamb’s book of life, which is the last will and testament of Jesus Christ, which has not changed from the written word of the Gospels, neither from the books of the prophets, nor from the teachings of the apostles, neither from the Revelation of Saint John The Divine. So I leave you this Sabbath in the words of Jesus Christ himself: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (St. John 5:24). And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE MAY 10, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the way, and the truth, and the life that is Christ Jesus. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all in the way, and truth, and life of His only begotten Son. To my beloved friends Ysmael, and Anthony Lea, and Keith A. Williams, whom I know in the love and truth of our Lord: Grace be with you and the peace of God. I greet you all in the hope and thanksgiving of the Lord our God: and salute you all in the faith of His many blessings. To the beloved saints, whom I know in the love and knowledge of Christ Jesus: Mercy and endurance be unto you forever. I greet you all in the humbleness of his Spirit: and salute you all in the way, and truth, and life of his baptism. Beloved children of God: It is written, few there be that find the way to life. Why is it so: if not because the many that go in the way of death are deceived by a convincing tongue teaching lies in the name of righteousness; and by the pride of self; and by the ignorance of flesh. Verily, many deceive themselves before being deceived by another, because of the ignorance of flesh, which is to follow the crowd that believes without understanding. For the crowd that turn from us know not where it go; neither do any have understanding of the things they believe; but are the blind being led by blind guides with a convincing tongue. So get wisdom, that you receive the gift of spiritual discernment; and with wisdom get understanding, which is the knowledge of the truth. For if a man ask the Lord for wisdom, it will be freely given unto him. The question then becomes, Will the man accept the wisdom of God, which is the way, and truth, and life of Jesus Christ, if it is against his previous understanding? For many with righteous hearts have fallen along the way in their wavering and double mindedness: for a righteous heart and foolish mind is prey in the wilderness of beasts which we all must pass through before we can reach the third heaven. For as Jesus has overcome the world which are the things of flesh; so must we also: for only by his footprints can we discover the way to truth and life. Indeed there are many footprints and guides in the wilderness yelling this way and that way to the house of God: but there is only one way to the truth and life bestowed by Christ Jesus. Some of those blind guides bear a righteous heart; but others are the birth of wickedness sent to deceive many. I pray for you all: Be not counted among the fallen that cannot get up because the beast has swallowed them whole: But be of a righteous spirit, that if you do fall along the way, you will be lifted up by the grace of truth. For any man walking in the truth without wavering is blessed to endure and overcome the world. For we who knew sin was called from out of sin by him that knew no sin, who became sin for our sake, that we might learn the way to overcome the lust and ignorance of our flesh, that we sin no more. This is he that taught us to be doers of the word and not hearers only. This is he that taught us to render unto Caesar the things that are of Caesar and unto God the things of God. Beloved: I have set every man into the way of truth through the knowledge that is Christ Jesus, whose testimony I change not, but recite as it is written. Yet, there is controversy over the Scriptures, as men question the validity of the authorized king James version of the holy bible. But this thing I say in the name of common sense: If I, being a Jew of the radical way, can speak with the written words of the authorized king James version and not be proven a liar, how then can those Scriptures be distorted? Verily I come before the Gentiles with the same bible many of them cherish; yet I show them Scriptures they have read but not heard. For they have been brainwashed to take the words of the apostles as equal to the words of Jesus: But what say Jesus: A disciple cannot be greater than his lord. Moreover, it is written in the Gospel according to St. Matthew: “And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only” (St. Matthew 17:3-8). The wisdom behind those words is that the testimony of Jesus supersedes all others. So a man must first know the whole testimony of Jesus Christ before he can know the way that leads to truth and life. And when a man knows the way that leads to truth and life, he cannot be led astray by the false footprints of Christ in the wilderness: So get the knowledge of life, which is the way and truth of Jesus Christ, that you be sealed in God. For the knowledge of life is the Spirit of truth, which restore the soul. For he say: “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (St. John 6:63). Now let us enter into the life of Jesus Christ, that we born like him, begotten by the word of truth, in the perfect law of liberty. For as Jesus is the Son of God, so are we made sons and daughters of Christ, being conceived in the Word that is able to save our souls. For even Christ our Lord is our God and Father: who has taught us the way of God in truth. So let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. Matthew 7:13-27: and let us Read and Hear: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it”. So brothers and sisters in Christ: The word of God has been sent down: and that which was kept secret from the foundation of the world has been revealed. Not by I; but beginning with Jesus Christ. For I have only shown you what is written, that you might see through the clouds that eclipse truth, to learn the way, and truth, and life that is Jesus Christ. So stay in the red letters, that you receive the Gospel according to the way it was spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ, which is according to the spirit and the letter. For the hour come, and now is the hour for the regeneration of Jesus and his apostles, which is the fulfilling of Christ prophecy. Thus, let every man grow in patience for an hour that shall last years until its fulfillment: because the perfect work of patience is faith: and only by the faith of the Son of man can a man be found standing upright and holy still at the end of his tribulation which is the trying of faith. For certainly the Life of Jesus Christ is not found without the sacrifice that is the suffering of the flesh. So when the Lord say, Behold I come quickly. Let us know that a day with the Lord is as a thousand years to men; and a thousand years to men as a day to the Lord. Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD TESTIMONY TO THE GENTILES MAY 3, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the knowledge of the truth: May the Lord God Almighty heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may all who worship as Gentiles become former Gentiles to enter into the commonwealth of Israel. Beloved saints of Christ: I give this testimony this Sabbath for the sake of the new ears among the Gentiles; whether they are among them by birth or nature: for any man not among us is a Gentile; even the Jew by birth. For I say unto you all: Any man that is not a Jew is a Gentile: And any man that does not partake of this heavenly calling is not a Jew. So I speak to the Baptist, and to the Methodist, and to the Pentecostal, and to the Protestant, and to the Catholic, and to the Jehovah Witness, and to the Lutheran, and to the Mormon, and to the Quaker, and to the Seventh Day Adventist, and to the Buddhist, and to the Hindu, and to the Muslim, and to the so-called Zionist, and to the Atheist, and to all religions and faiths not of our gospel: Every one of you are Gentiles and unable to enter the third heaven: for the third heaven is belonging to the soul of Christ which is the nature of an upright and holy Jew. So I pray, out of my love for you all, that you repent from the nature of your ways and be baptized in the knowledge at hand, which is the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. For we are not sent down from a heavenly place to spare you from the wrath of the Lord: but to guide you into the light of common sense. For how can any man be true in the bible and not abide in the gospel of Jesus Christ? And how can any man call on the name of God and not know that Jesus is Lord? And how can any man call on the name of Jesus Christ and not worship in spirit and in truth? For I need not to repeat myself daily to the same ear on the knowledge of the truth: for he that is of the truth hear the truth and abide. So I speak to the new ear: for only to the new ear are we now sent. For those who have heard us yet still doubt we speak the truth, can they be saved? And those who waver back and forth, what strength will sustain them? If you have heard our testimony and have not come into our fold, we have left your ear; so you must now find your own way back to life. For we have many ears to speak into, and no time to waste. So to the new ear: If you have heard our testimony, then you know our home: And if you enter into our home, your questions will be answered and your knowledge will be truth. For unlike the blind and ignorant led away by the spirit of error, we use all the Scriptures for doctrine, and for reproof, and for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. We stand on the Stone of Truth, which is the foundation of the prophets and apostles with every word of Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. We are not led by the spirit of error, nor by the pride of fools; but by the common sense of one born of God. And no man can stand against us in the Scriptures except his scriptures be wrested like the scriptures belonging to the Jehovah Witness; and all those who recite from the new world translations; even the new king James version. Indeed many righteous hearts have been deceiv   THE THIRD HEAVEN APRIL 26, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the third heaven, which is the kingdom of everlasting life. May the Almighty God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be taken in His arms to the third heaven. Beloved children of the light: we know that the Lord our God made heavens in the beginning; wherefore we speak to you this Sabbath of the third heaven, which is the paradise of our Christ. For our beloved brother Paul so wrote: “I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell; God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven” (II Corinthians 12:2). So we, being ministers of the Word and saints of Christ are not taken to a place that shall perish, but up to the third heaven, which is a place known to the few that shall become many. For the Lord our God made heavens: one being in the earth; and other above the earth. Even made He the heaven of heavens, which is the third heaven. For we know that the earth at its beginning was the paradise of God; thus a heaven. But by reason of corruption was destroyed by water, that a new earth be established, and a new heaven on earth. But again by reason of corruption, which came even from the chosen of God, this earth we know must be destroyed; not by water as in the days of Noah; but by fire, that a third earth become known, which is the third heaven, and the home of saints. For we who are taken in the Raptures, even slain for truth sake, are not set upon the heavens that will pass away with this earth; but on a pure heaven which is the third heaven, and the heaven of heavens. Beloved: this knowledge of the heaven of heavens was kept secret from men since the beginning: even though it was revealed in Scripture. For Moses so wrote: “Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD’s thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is” (Deuteronomy 10:14). So the heaven of heavens was made known to us by the prophets, yet given in a mystery, that the third heaven remain a secret till the times of refreshing, which is the restitution of Israel. For he say: “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (St. John 14:2-3). This is the third heaven, where the saints will reign with Christ on the earth forever in the sanctuary of the New Jerusalem, which come down from out of the heaven of heavens. Beloved children of Israel: Do men not know that through our restitution is salvation given? Let us count ourselves worthy, O children of Israel, to be called the chosen of the Lord. For what was given, then taken away, has been restored. And we who are Jews in the spirit and truth of Christ name are called to minister unto our fellow brothers and sisters of Israel that are scattered about in this regeneration of days, that they be found, and the truth restored to them in the mercy of God’s forgiveness. For in the Spirit that is given unto us, we speak to the children of Israel as it is written: “The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities” (Acts 3:13-26). If one only read and hear the words that are already written, one will know from which we come. For are we not the fulfilling of prophecy, which is the Spirit of truth? And is this not the regeneration, which is the repeat of days past? Indeed all prophecy must be fulfilled: so we do not seek that which we cannot have. For as it is written: “This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation” (II Peter 3:1-4): so be it. So we know, not by observation alone, but according to the word of God also, that all things continue as they were from the beginning. So how can we be disappointed by those who hear us not, when they are the same faces that denied the Holy One when he stood before them whole? Dearly beloved: In the Spirit that is given to us, we speak to all who are called to be saints of Christ, as it is written: “THE mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah” (Psalms 50:1-6). Verily by the seed of Abraham is the seed of all flesh saved: this is not our word, but the word of God. Let those who seek to be caught up to the third heaven, where even the martyrs of Jesus Christ from the ancient of days await to be taken, come forward and be baptized in the pure water of truth that cleanses the mind and purifies the body. For we know that this mind must be in us, which is the mind of Christ: And we know that the church of God is the body of Christ; and that the body of Christ is without sin. So let us come out of sin: not as the hypocrites who speak of redemption yet continue to wallow in sin as fornicators and fools. For not knowing the truth is sin: but knowing the truth and not abiding is evil. I remove myself this day from all who have heard my testimony, yet abide not; giving mercy only to the new ear, that he might hear, to study and learn. For our work is not in vain: neither is it given as a waste of time. We have left a record of our testimony: let those who seek the truth study our testimony, that they might learn the truth, and be taken up into the third heaven: for all other heavens shall be dissolved. Beloved people of God: all who are called to be saints of Christ in the knowledge of the truth. Let those who have heard our testimony yet abide not be counted among the unworthy: for we give testimony to the saints: and to all who are called to be saints in the truth of His name. For we, being raised as ministering spirits to the seed of Israel, as it is also to the seed of Gentiles, that we might lead them all into the life of the third heaven, that they might bear witness to the fulfilling of prophecy. For as it is written: “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD” (Isaiah 65:17-25): so shall we bear witness. Indeed if a man seek to worship God let him take hold of a Jew: for no man can know God save by the nature of a Jew in Christ. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to I Chronicles 16: 11-26: and let us Readand Hear: “Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation. Declare his glory among the heathen: his marvelous works among all nations. For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens”. So this is the whole conclusion of the matter: the heavens that we know shall be dissolved with fire: but from out of the third heaven shall come forth the heaven of heavens, that new heavens be created. For as it is written: “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness” (II Peter 3:10-13): so shall it be. And if the heavens shall be on fire as it is written, then where will the saints be found, if not on the third heaven, which is the heaven of heavens. For here is the secret to a mystery: It is written: “For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens” (Hebrews 7:26). So if we are made higher than the heavens, then are we not caught up to our High Priest, whose throne sits on the third heaven, which is above all heavens known to man. For surely if Satan is in heaven (Revelation 12:7-9), then even as she sits in heaven, our Lord is made higher. Thus, we know that we, being joint-heirs of Christ, are made higher than the heavens, that we may be with him. So if he is caught up to the third heaven (II Corinthians 12:2): are we not also? Selah. THE SPIRIT – PART 2 APRIL 19, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the Spirit of Truth. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all in the Spirit of Redemption. For we all have fallen short of His glory; yet in the tenderness of His mercy have we been renewed to receive the glory that was promised unto our fathers. To those who gave their testimony without shame: May the Almighty God bless you, and keep you, and make His face to shine upon you always. For you have heard the call of the Spirit within you, which is not the spirit of fear; neither jealousy; nor slumber; but Truth. I salute everyone of you with the holy kiss of a saint. Let your spirit be the guide for others that seek the light of truth. Beloved children of the True and Living God: As I come before you on the Sabbath of the Lord’s Passover in the spirit of His coming: I come in the love and peace of His Holy Spirit: not to heal the man blind of his external eyes; but he that is blind to the truth: not to quicken the man dead of flesh; but he that is dead of spirit: so they might see, and talk, and walk, not dead on their feet. For we all are called to be renewed, that we be forgiven of our sins, to stand upright and holy as new creatures of Christ: living our lives as examples of Christ spirit in flesh. For we are set free from the spirit of bondage to receive the Spirit of adoption, that we be created in the image and likeness of our Lord, to follow in his footsteps. Surely if we take on the Spirit of his likeness, we are one in the customs of his doctrine, which we know by the evidence of his word. For he say, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (St. John 4:24). So one in Christ must worship God in spirit and in truth. This is a necessity: because he say it is a must. And he say, “If I then, your Lord and master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you” (St. John 13:14-15). And he say, “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say”? (St. Mark 6:46) So if we are true in the Spirit that is Christ, then we follow every word of Christ; to worship God in spirit and in truth; to wash the feet of one another (which is the baptism of a saint St. John 13:8); and to abide in the commandments of God. Indeed: even as there is the spirit of Christ that brings forth influence; there is also the spirit of the Antichrist that brings forth influence. And even as the spirit of Christ speak in the spirit of God; so also do the spirit of the Antichrist. So what is the sign that keep a man from being deceived? It is the sign that was spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ, which is the full gospel of his testimony. For on the whole testimony of Jesus Christ, the spirit of the Antichrist cannot stand with the illusion of a vessel in the spirit of God: but be revealed as a liar; and as a distorter of the Scriptures. This is the spirit that has fallen among many, to distort their understanding of reason, that their righteous hearts be led away by the things that appear as the norm of a Christian. But we know that the norm of a saint is the things belonging to Christ: so where is it written that Christianity is the doctrine of Jesus Christ? So be not deceived by the appearance of a word; but make your Passover the baptism of Christ; that you who are a servant to the things of Christianity become a Jew by nature; and that you who are a Jew by birth become a Jew by nature. For he say, “salvation is of the Jews” (St. John 4:22). So there is no Jew but one that is true in Christ: for he say, “I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9). Surely, no man can be saved without the Spirit that is Jesus Christ. So I call out to you also, my beloved brother Islam, that you put away the ignorance of your ways, and return to him (Christ) that sent you a prophet to fulfill the promise to Ishmael (Genesis 17:20). For you were not given the Koran to put away the Holy Bible: but to keep you from the darkness of Christianity that distorted the Scriptures: and to establish the customs and ways of your own culture. For you were blessed by the Almighty God to receive a great nation: even twelve tribes as Israel is twelve tribes that you be counted among the twenty and four elders that are around the throne of God. For you, my dear brother Ishmael, the progenitor of the Arabs, have indeed been anointed to stand beside the Lord of the whole earth, because you have received a covenant according to the word of God (Galatians 4:22-25). Therefore, stay in the word that brought forth your prophet, that, you answer to Jerusalem, which is the mother of us all. For the seed of Islam is not given a covenant to be separate from Christ; but to be blessed in the freedom of his own culture, that the word of God be fulfilled. And if there be a new ear that seek more understanding of these words, let him read the Two Olive Trees in the sermon archives, that he might learn a mystery of the Holy Scriptures. Beloved: It is a simple thing that men should check our word according to Scripture: and if the word is written then they should believe. But not all are resurrected to believe: for he say, few there be that find the way to life (St. Matthew 7:13-14). This is the prophecy of our Lord, which cannot be changed. So why should we fall to discouragement, when we know that only one out of a thousand will receive us? For are we not like Noah in his preaching: having our words fall upon death ears save for those souls who are reserved for the kingdom to come? But what happens to the souls that hear the voice of truth to follow the way of righteousness yet fall back into the way of unrighteousness? Is it not written my friends: “For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them” (II Peter 2:21). And he say, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (St. John 5:39). So we who called in the knowledge of the truth, faint not in our trials and tribulations of the flesh, but persevere through the faith of the Son of man, which is a gift from God. For we at one time were lost in the way; and without understanding of the truth: then came the Spirit of the Son of man to guide our feet into the way of life; and to bring understanding to our mind; that we might inherit the gift of eternal life. So I say unto you my friends; Are we not dearly loved by the Lord God Almighty? Even those who are in error of His ways? For He sacrificed His only begotten Son for our sake, that we might find life and not death. And we who have found the life that is Jesus Christ; being resurrected for the regeneration at hand; and sent down from heaven in the truth of His name; are set as vessels of flesh to be ridiculed and reviled by men for the sake of those in error; that they might learn the error of their ways and stand corrected. So we who are faithful servants of the Lord and worthy of honor are given to suffer in the flesh from the hand of scoffers and all hateful men, that the souls in heaven may rejoice over one sinner turned righteous: because whom the Lord love the Lord correct. So do we not also love you, that, we suffer for you, as Christ suffered for us? So stand corrected: and be not bent on pride, that you cannot accept justified rebuke. For I know that many of you are comfortable in your indoctrination that came from the spirit of darkness, that you find it hard to discontinue in the way of the beast, because it has become the norm of your existence in flesh. But I pray for you: that you receive the strength to break the chain of honoring the things of the beast, which thing at hand is Easter, the pagan celebration that Herod and the foolish Jews honored (Acts 12:1-4). So be wise in the knowledge of the truth: for he say, “No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (St. Luke 16:13). So put away the things belonging to the Gentiles, that you become former Gentiles, whose souls have been converted to the knowledge of the truth. For in the truth of Christ spirit, we are not given to churches made with man’s hands; neither to the whoredom of Easter; nor to the abomination of Christmas; neither to the blasphemy of Sunday as the Sabbath. But are called to uphold the truth of his name, by which we take nothing belonging to the Gentiles. For it is written: “For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: Because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth” (III John 3-8). So if we stay in the word of God, which is the truth, then we know that nothing was taken of the Gentiles for the evangelism of Christ; not even the name Christian that came from the Gentiles. For did Jesus in all his testimony speak the word Christian? Nay: not even in his testimony to his churches in the book of Revelation. So what then is that word but one that must be left behind as Christianity and all things belonging to the Gentiles are left behind: for we cannot be fellow helpers to the truth if we receive that which was not given by the word of God. For he say, Search the scriptures. Brothers and Sisters of mine: I say this thing and the thing is certain: No man shall have an excuse when he stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For how can any man have an excuse? And if one should say, Will not a man that is on an island without access to the Holy Scriptures have an excuse? I say unto that man, Nay: for if any man is removed from hearing the voice of truth, then he is cursed not to hear it. And if one cannot understand the written word, is it not given so that they cannot understand? For he say: “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them” (St. Mark 4:11-12). Indeed there be some that say I twist the Scriptures: but how can I twist the Scriptures when I speak exactly as it is written? Verily, those that oppose my testimony are those that attempt to twist the Scriptures by saying you cannot take the word of God literally; and that books are missing from the Holy Bible; and that the Scriptures contradict itself. Indeed they speak these things that they might justify their reason not to believe. But I say unto you all in the Spirit of Truth: Believe all of it; or believe none of it. For you cannot take the Old Testament alone and be righteous still: neither can you take the New Testament alone and be righteous still: nor can you take the Lamb’s book of life alone and be righteous still. For how can a man take the Father and not have the Son? And how can a man take the Son and not have the Holy Ghost? As the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are one: so is the Old Testament, and the New Testament, and the Lamb’s book of life. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. John 3:27-36: and let us Read and Hear: “John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease. He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him”. People of the earth: There is laid before men two spirits: one spirit is beholden to death. In your free will I pray that you take up the spirit of life, which cannot be hidden from a child of God, because the spirit of truth is in him. So no man can have an excuse: for he say, “To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” (St. John 18:37). So what is truth? In his prayer to the Father, he say: “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (St. John 17:17). And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD THE SPIRIT APRIL 12, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the Spirit. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all in the Spirit of His embrace. Dearly beloved children of the Holy One: I pray for you all in the blessings and love of the only begotten Son, that each and every one of us continue in his grace. Seeking comfort only in the glory of his name: and in the honor of his truth. Knowing that the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly (Proverbs 20:27), because the Lord our God bear witness to all things. Thus, nothing can be hidden from God; not even your thoughts: because the spirit in you, whether it is of life or death, is belonging to God. For it is surely written: “For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves” (Job 34:21-22). Also, we know that man was created from dust: and it is written: “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it” (Ecclesiastes 11:7). For is not Christ the Lord of both the living and the dead? And is he not the holder of the keys of death and hell? Indeed, if we know the living word of God, then we know that Christ is Lord both of the living and the dead (Romans 14:9). And we know that Jesus holds the keys of hell and death (Revelation 1:18). But even though the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord; what has become of the light from the candle if the soul of the man blows it out? Has he not turned from the Lord in boldness?: even attempted to work iniquity in secret from the eyes of God? The spirit of man is a good thing if the light from the candle of God continues to shine: but if the light has gone out, what then is the spirit but a soul of darkness? And what is a soul if it can blow out the light from the candle of the Lord? Indeed the spirit is from heaven and the soul is from earth: thus the soul is the vessel of human flesh. For it is written: “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul” (Psalms 19%3    THE BEAST – PART II APRIL 5, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well without the mark of the beast. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all from receiving the mark of the beast. Beloved brothers and sisters: Every one of you should indeed try every spirit, to know whether the spirit is of truth. For there are many false teachers that are gone out into the world: even many more in these days at hand. Thus, not even I should be exempt from skepticism. For I know that I have come before you as a stranger: not standing on a pulpit; nor being ordained by man’s hand; neither with the miracles of Christ. So why should you believe me? I pray: Do not believe me, but every word that is written in the Holy Scriptures; chiefly the words that are written in red. And if you believe in the red letters, then show me where I am wrong, that I myself am not deceived. For if I preach the red letters, which is the perfect testimony of Jesus Christ, how then can I receive the mark of the beast unless I do not practice the things I preach? Then I am a hypocrite and not a deceiver: because even in hypocrisy the testimony I give is the truth of life. But I am neither hypocrite nor deceiver; but a shepherd of the chosen flock. I bring forth undisputable truth; not according to my own understanding; but according to every word of the Holy Bible: how then can any one be deceived by me? Yet, many do believe that I am a deceiver, even though I speak according to the Scriptures. So be it then that I am a fool in your eyes: but the Scriptures is “profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (II Timothy 3:16-17). Thus, I, being a man of God, am made perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works, by reason of abiding in the whole truth. But the beast and his children, who are the sons and daughters of men, take the Scriptures in part to justify their doctrine and ways, that they might mislead righteous hearts into the way of darkness. For those who are led by the beast have become as the beast: being as it is written: “So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee” (Psalms 73:22). Yea for sure in all the great and mighty words spoken by the beast, he is yet foolish and ignorant still. So then are they also: those that listen to the voice of the beast, who can only speak the Scriptures in part; because he cannot stand on the testimony of Jesus Christ alone. So he and his cohorts lash out against the truth with their venomous tongues; because the truth is the light that has uncovered their falsehood. And they can no longer run to the Scriptures in part to justify their way; because the fullness of the Scriptures has been brought forth which is undisputable truth. So to discredit the voice of truth, they speak loud in confidence, calling the messenger delusional, and self-appointed. They are bold with their revilement, and scorn, and sarcasm. These are the generation of sinful fathers; and they shall never see the light. Dear children of the earth: I have left a record of the knowledge and truth belonging to the Lord for all who enter into this place, that they might give account of my testimony for Jesus Christ in the Spirit of Prophecy. Those that hear not, and waver, and doubt the authenticity of the book of life in my right hand; so be it; but I shall not lose one sheep belonging to the flock of Christ. For the sheep that are lost because of the thick darkness that eclipse the way of truth shall hear the voice of the shepherd, and be guided by his voice of truth into the way of the Lord, that they may enter into the city of truth. And whosoever is slain in the truth along the way, because our journey to the city of truth is through the valley of death belonging to the beast, whose mouth is the mouth of a lion, and whose right hand is an adder, and whose authority is given from the dragon; shall not be slain in vain; but sacrificed unto God to bear witness of eternal life. Of that spirit within us, which is the stone of hope belonging to Christ, the beast can have no effect: for in our hearts in written Psalm 23: and in our remembrance is “Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet” (Psalm 91:13). Therefore, whosoever is led away by the beast, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their forehead along the way, is not belonging to Christ: but shall be counted among the many that are left without the kingdom of God. For some among us do see the light to travel in the way; but shall fall in the days of patience for the saints; because of doubt and weakness of flesh. These are those that will think they have escaped the taste of death in the valley of death by submitting to the will of the beast: but they shall not taste death till they see the Son of man coming in his glory, which is the great earthquake of the sixth seal, which is the hour of our rapture. For in these words of the Lord have we put our trust: “Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover theee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked” (Psalm 91:3-8). For we are solid on the Rock that is Christ: and cannot be removed from the only Church of God. So to you who stand in the honor of men: being priests, and rabbis, and bishops, and reverends, and pastors, and elders, of churches great and small: what honor is there without understanding of the Scriptures? And how say you have understanding yet deny undisputable truth? For surely if you have understanding in your honor, you would partake of this heavenly calling. But in your honor from men, you reject our testimony sent from On High: denying us our honor in the Spirit that is righteously due to us. So be it then: but though we are set at nought: we shall reap our honor over all the earth when the harvest is ripe. For we are not like unto you; even them that are ashamed to be associated with us. For we seek not the honor from men, which is the honor without understanding, which is the honor you possess in loving and making a lie. He that has understanding know my voice is true. He that does not is as it is written: “Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish” (Psalms 49:20). And let the saints say, So be it. Beloved sons and daughters of God: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Revelation 16:13-16: and let us Read and Hear: “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon”. Indeed this hour is nigh, but not yet at hand. But the kingdom of God is at hand: which is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (the Spirit of Truth). So seek every one of you the kingdom of God, which come not with observation, because it is within you. I pray: Do not mistake the New Jerusalem, which come with observation, with the kingdom of God. For the kingdom of God is wherever the foot of an upright and holy man stand: But the New Jerusalem is a Holy City governed by the twelve tribes of Israel. And let no man make the mistake in his search for the Church of God and Saints of Christ: for the Church of God and Saints of Christ is wherever we stand. Beloved brothers and sisters: both Jews and former Gentiles: The beast to come must have his reign over all the earth for three and a half years. But then shall the sixth seal be opened: and the golden state of Vespucci shall be cast into the Pacific Ocean. And a great horror shall fall upon the faces of all the earth, that, behold, the bald heads of men and women. And anarchy shall cover all the earth by reason of this great and mighty earthquake that devoured the whole state of California from off the face of the earth, as it was so prophesied in the Lamb’s book of life; even in the book of Revelation. And great men hide themselves in their secret places because the Spirit of Prophecy reaped our honor over all the earth: because the harvest was ripe. But there was no safe place found on the earth, nor under the earth, neither in the sea, nor on the moon. For these are the days of Vengeance for the saints: and no man, nor woman, neither child, can escape the wrath of the Lamb whose servants the inhabitants of the earth rejected and slain. Verily, all things shall come to pass as it is written in the book of Revelation, and in the book of the prophets, and in the Lamb’s book of life. And we who were slain in the laughter of men shall hold the last laugh: for we are alive and not dead: because our God is a God of the living. And whereas we sacrificed our lives, we sacrificed our lives for our children, that we may live through their righteous, which come by our redemption. So a wasted sacrifice we offer not: for even those of us that are without child shall be a child in the Messianic Age. Thus, I pray for the new ears, that they have heard the call of watchfulness from our beloved brother Ysmael, that they might be prepared for the coming of the Lord, that they be not found naked and with shame. For as it is written in the book of Revelation: “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh” (Revelation 19:11-21): so shall it be. And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD   THE BEAST MARCH 29, 2003 Sermon Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well without fear of the beast. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be found standing in the name of the Lord without fear of the beast that sit as a President. Beloved children of God: I speak freely in this kingdom of America; not to make any man my enemy; but to bring all men into the acceptance of the Truth. Yet, because I give testimony to the truth, I am hated and ridiculed; being labeled by men as delusional and a lunatic. Indeed there are many that fear to join this assembly; for fear they might be deceived. These are them that are led away from life by reason of their doubt: and by reason of those who convince them with their own words, and with wrested scriptures. But was it not so with me also, that in my youth, I was scared to believe in the knowledge that was given to me? Do men think that it is easy for me to come before them claiming the embodiment of the Holy Ghost on the Scriptures alone? Indeed I wrestled with my own mind, but the spirit of Truth (which is every word of the Holy Bible, chiefly the letters written in red) won. Yea for sure: If I had not been born from the womb of a pious Jew of the tribe of Judah, in the city men know as the District of Columbia, but is the modern day Jerusalem, I could not stand before you in the testimony of the Lamb’s book of life and be righteous still. But I, being called from among the many lambs of Christ, to be a sacrifice for the shedding of his blood, that many might enter into the Passover of the Messianic Age, do stand before you all, righteous and holy still, despite the scorn and revilement from men: because my honor is not of this world: neither is my life the life of flesh. So call me what you may: and ignore me as you do: But the hour do come when those who turned away from us shall seek us but not find us. And those who loved their place in this world to despise the sacrifice of a saint shall hate their place in this world but there shall be none found to deliver them. And the loud cries of these people shall not be heard: and their mercy shall not be given: neither shall their words be forgiven. For these are those that shall not be taken in the rapture: but are left with a fearful look for the judgment and indignation of Christ vengeance that shall devour them. Beloved brothers and sisters who stand in the knowledge of the truth without fear: There are some among us who shall fall according to the word of our Lord in St. Mark 4:15-20: because prophecy cannot be changed. So these things must be: for as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the Son of man. For whereas Noah preached and men heard him not till the coming of the flood; so shall it also be with us; that men shall not hear us till the coming of Christ and his holy angels with the opening the sixth seal (Revelation 6:12-17). Then shall they cry out for forgiveness and mercy; but the kingdom of heaven shall be locked as the door of Noah’s ark was locked by the right hand of God. For as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the Son of man. For the first seal of the book of life was so opened on the March 31, 2001. And though many doubt, and some question the authenticity, in my right hand sit the Lamb’s book of life. And whether you hear or forbear, in time shall every creature know that I am he that is sent according to the written word: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” (Revelation 5:12). And if a man should say, That is Christ. I say unto that man and all who believe as he do, Stand corrected: for what need would there be for Christ to be slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and blessing; when he had those things before he was slain from the foundation of the world? I reveal this Sabbath yet another mystery of the Lamb that applies to the mystery of St. Luke 17:22-26 and St. John 16:12-15. He that have understanding, let him receive it, and believe it. Dear children of the earth: know this thing for certain: All who stand in the knowledge of the truth stand in the spirit of the Lamb. And what say our Lord: “Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear” (St. Mark 4:21-23). So we dear children, being the children of God, confess the knowledge of the truth, and fear none but the Lord. For of the beast and his men, which can cause great pain and suffering upon the flesh, we fear them not. But there be many among us that do. These are those who set themselves among us, that they might report us to their master, the beast, to receive a reward from the hand of death. But I say unto you all, What manner of reward can come from the hand of death? And whosoever seek to spare their life, shall lose their life. Beloved: As I enter into this third year of testimony for Jesus Christ, two seals have been opened, and the third seal is nigh. But let us not dwell on the war at hand that shall spread quickly throughout the Middle East: But let us prepare for our Passover in the spirit of its tradition. For those who are called to war are called because of their destiny: and those who are called to peace are called because of their righteousness. For we know that these things must be; because we dwell in the word of the Lord. And though our testimony is called political; political it is not; but the bond of truth. Nevertheless, we are classified by the government of this country as radicals; and revolutionaries. But our radicalism is the voice of Truth: and our revolution is a spiritual and social revolution in the peace of God. For we are not found rioting; neither protesting against the evil hand of this government; but abiding in the freedom of speech in our own homes, and within our daily walk. And when that hour of our assembly is televised; it shall be seen as an assembly of peace in the knowledge of the truth. For we, being Jews by nature, are called to peace and not violence. But nevertheless, this thing shall surely come to pass, that we and all who speak as us shall be declared an outlaw though we have broken no law of the Gentile: for freedom of speech is surely his constitution of democracy. But the days are nigh when the freedom of speech that is written in the constitution of this country shall be overturned as the entire constitution shall be overturned: because with the twinkle of an eye all civil rights shall pass away. And outlawed also shall be the freedom of the press, and all labor unions, and all things not in accordance with the way of the beast. And in those days, which come quickly after the sacrifice of a Lamb for the Passover, all roads shall be blocked and all airports closed, that no man might enter or leave the gates of America. And the seats of Congress shall be found no more: and the seat of the Pope will be transferred to the White House to sit like unto the beast that is a President. And the cities of America shall become the rule of Martial Law in a Totalitarian State bent on exterminating the true Jews over all the earth, which is not the seed of Europeans (those who say they are Jews but are not), but the seed of blacks who confess their heritage before the presence of the beast. And among us that are hated by the beast are former Gentiles: even Arabs of a righteous Islam. But we fight not against the beast save for the Spirit of Prophecy, which is the sword that proceeds from our mouth. So let us offer no resistance against the power of the beast, that we be not found resisting the ordinance of God. For it is written: “LET every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation” (Romans 13:1-2). Indeed those Scriptures are appropriately written in the Epistle to the Romans: being that America is the modern day Roman Empire. But let us abide in the peace of God, which surpass understanding, that we be not provoked to resist the power of the beast, but remain in the wisdom and trust of the things to come. For our persecution and death must be: this is not a sign of us without hope; but the fulfillment of prophecy according to the days of the fifth seal (Revelation 6:9-11). So prepare yourselves, my friends, for the days to come: for how can any man be true in God and not know the time at hand? Yea for sure: the hour at hand is the second seal, when peace is taken from the earth. And this hour did not begin with the invasion of Iraq; but when war was declared on the peaceful land of the beast with the September 11 attack. So is it now, that this hour of the second seal is drawing closer to fulfillment, as king Bush, who is the sixth of the seven kings that must rule in America (Revelation 17:9-10), make war to spread the sovereignty of the beast over all the earth in alliance with the so-called Zionist, who sit in the shadows, pretending not to partake of this Crusade to rid the earth of their enemies, but is the wealth behind the right hand of king Bush. Indeed these so-called Zionist, whose purpose from the beginning (when the Romans committed genocide on the true Jews in 69-70 AD) was to lead righteous hearts into the darkness of Christianity (by denouncing Jesus as the Christ), that the Catholic Church be the only sanctity among the inhabitants of the earth to confess the name of Christ; are set again to fulfill the work of their past. For in the days of the fifth seal, a Pope shall rise up beside the seventh President that must rule in America before the day of the Lord do come. And this Pope shall be the eighth President; but of the seven. And in the eyes of truth, he is the Antichrist; sent out into all the earth to use his influence as the Pope to deceive all who call on the name of Christ without the truth of his name. And the President and the Pope shall make war on all religions and faiths that are not of the Catholic church: that no country, or house, or man, be left standing except for those that worship the beast. And these days shall be forty and two months: but the Church of God and Saints of Christ shall not be consumed. Now I know some of you do not understand my words: but I speak according to Scripture. And if a man knows Scripture, then shall he understand my words. So be not afraid to open up the pages of Revelation that you might learn from which I speak: for the fulfillment of Revelation is the glory of saints. Indeed if we fear death, then we are not worthy of life. So embrace the days to come: for our endurance of trying times shall receive the reward of rapture. So let us stay in the word of God, as we teach men the knowledge of Christ. And though there be some that attempt to entice us to speak in our own words, let us speak not, that men might learn. For how can any learn the Scriptures without learning from the words of the Scriptures? And who is a greater teacher than Christ our Lord? Indeed: he that seeks us to speak in our own words is not of God. My brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Revelation Chapter 13: and let us Read and Hear: “AND I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy” (Revelation 13:1). The beast is a great red dragon (Revelation 12:3). The seven heads are seven Presidents: five have fallen, one is, and the other is to come (Revelation 17:9-10). Of the five Presidents that are fallen: four heads sit on a mountain called Rushmore: and the fifth was known as Tricky Dick. The one that is, is George Washington Bush. And the one to come is another from out of the Republican Party. And the ten horns with ten crowns are allies of the seventh President: and they have no kingdom as yet, but will receive power as kings from the seventh President in the days of the sixth seal (Revelation 6:12-17), that they might be able to stand against the Lamb and his holy angels of Vengeance for the saints (Revelation 17:12-14). “And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and seat, and great authority” (Revelation 13:2). The leopard is the symbol of Greco-Romans (Americans); and the bear is the symbol of Russia (the seed of ancient Persia); and the lion is the symbol of England (the seed of ancient Babylon). And the dragon that gives the seventh President his power, and seat, and authority is the Devil and Satan (Revelation 20:2). “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:3-4). The great wound that was caused to America began with the war in Iraq; then the collapse of the Stock Market in the days of the third seal (Revelation 6:5-6); and then the great war of the Middle East in the days of the fourth seal (Revelation 6:7-8). But the deadly wound of America was healed by the seventh President who rose in the days of the fourth seal with great power and might from the Devil, to trample over all the earth, that the inhabitants of the earth might fear the name of the United States of America. “And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, tongues, and nations” (Revelation 13:5-7). Those words are self-explanatory: those are the days of the fifth seal (Revelation 6:9-11), which are the days of genocide on the keepers of truth. “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8). The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world at the end of the days of the fourth seal is the sacrificial blood of Christ: because unless the blood of Christ is spilled again what offering can atone for our sins? And though the saints as an existence of flesh stand on the earth, that the fifth seal be fulfilled; they dwell not on the earth; but in the kingdom of God that is in them. But all that are not among them, dwell upon the earth and worship Falsehood, whose names are not written in the book of life. “If any man have an hear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity; he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints” (Revelation 13:9-10). Thus, he that betrays the saints that they become imprisoned shall be imprisoned himself. And he that take up the gun to kill his enemy shall also be killed by the gun. For the patience and faith of the saints is to stay in the peace of God through all things. “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed” (Revelation 13:11-15). This is the Antichrist who sits as a Pope. And he is a master magician, whose illusions shall deceive many. For though the beast appear as a man, he is a beast, as it is written: “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is” (Revelation 17:8). “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:16-17). These are the days of a new currency: and many shall faint in those days to receive a mark in their right hand because they put their trust in the eyes of flesh. And those without the knowledge of the truth shall receive a mark in their forehead: because they give their allegiance to the flag of the beast. But whether the mark is in your right hand                                                                THE ROCK MARCH 22, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well on the Rock that our Lord Jesus Christ has built his church. May the Lord God of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in; and may He bless us always in the grace of His only begotten Son. To the general assembly of saints: I send love, peace, and blessings to each and every one of you in the true name of our Lord Jesus Christ. May the Lord our God annul the covenant with death that we have made in our ignorance: and may He take away the agreement that we made with hell in our foolishness. For we, being both Jews and Gentiles, are guilty by our own doings of the judgment that is death and hell, that unless the Lord bestow His mercy upon us, we would be punished with the fate of everlasting perdition. But the Rock that begat us through the grace of His only begotten Son has lifted us up from out of the death and hell that we paved for ourselves, that we might stand on the Rock of salvation: for the Almighty God in His loving mercy has forgiven us of our unrighteousness, that the sins of many be washed away with the pure water of truth. For glory is not at its peak with the righteous; but when sinners turn righteous. For the Lord in the tenderness of His loving heart has forgiven us all of our lies, and blasphemy, and murders, and fornication, and thefts; that we become new creatures on the solid Rock of obedience. For we all have fell short in some way; being victims to the sinful nature of flesh, which has a hold on us till we stand upright and holy in the fear of God with the spirit of truth. Then are we found solid on the Rock of salvation, which has a place for every man who seeks to be with the Lord. For the Lord has built His house with His own hands as a house of prayer for all souls who seek to worship Him in spirit and in truth: so let every man, woman, and child, come forth and be baptized with the Spirit of truth in the temple of God, which is the body of an upright and holy one, that they be counted among the congregation of the Lord. For the Lord our God cannot be found in a building: but in the spiritual mind of truth. So run not to a building as a place of worship; but enter into your own mind, that you free yourself from the darkness of not knowing. Thus, soften your hardened hearts and humble your stubborn selves to repent and be baptized in the knowledge of the truth: for you must surely clear your mind of the things you had been taught that your mind might become renewed in the true knowledge of Jesus Christ. For many claim to know Christ, but know him not. And many claim to love Christ, but love him not. For how can a man know that which he do not understand? And how can a man love that which he do not know? Dearly beloved: both Jews and former Gentiles: Our beloved brother Ysmael preached in the call for watchfulness, saying, “When Jesus comes it will be too late to make preparations, so he exhorts his followers to be watchful, ready for his coming, whenever it should be”. Indeed our beloved brother, being chosen of God, and called to lead the tribe of Levi, speak great things in the knowledge of Jesus Christ with the mouth of the Holy Ghost on the Rock of Israel; saying also in his judgment testimony: “Fire will test everyone's work. What survives the flames will lead to a reward and what does not means loss (1 Cor 3:11-15). It is said of believers that when Christ appears they will "appear with him in glory" (Col 3:4), and further, that we wait for the coming of him who "rescues us from the coming wrath" (1 Thess 1:10)”. So are we not blessed to hear the words of such a great man though we see him not in flesh? For what manner of salvation can a man find by the things of flesh? Is salvation not found by the spirit only? And does not sound give sight? So we recognize the Spirit in our brother Ysmael as in all the saints by their words which come from the voice of truth. For the voice of truth cannot mislead; because it speak with all of the Holy Scriptures; which is the foundation of the prophets and apostles with the testimony of Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. So if one should follow our guidance, will we not lead them to the Rock of salvation? For certainly, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, spoke to men, saying, “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews” (St. John 4:22). So if salvation is of the Jews, how might any enter into the New Jerusalem without hold on the skirt of him that is a Jew? I say these things not for the sake of those who know; but for the sake of those that do not know; that they might not be left ignorant. Now gather an ear that you might hear this mystery that I reveal unto you this Sabbath day: For we know that Jesus of the tribe of Judah built his church on the Rock of Truth in Caesarea Philippi: and that Paul wrote an epistle to the saints in Philippi from his prison cell in Rome, which we know as THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE PHILIPPIANS. But do men know that the Philippians are the seed we know today as the Philippines: and that the Filipino of today though called an Oriental is the seed of Malays, whose seed is a tribe of Israel? I tell you not lie and Christ is my witness: The seed of the Filipinos come from the tribe of Reuben: for they are surely one of the twelve tribes of Israel; being lost in flesh but not in spirit. And we know that the Spanish enslaved the Filipinos like unto our slavery in America: being raped, and hung, and indoctrinated with Christianity. But Filipinos like unto us, are the children of Israel. And though they have become crossbreed by the Spanish and even the Japanese, like we in America have become crossbreed by the Europeans; we are not manifested in faith by our flesh but by our spirit. And if there be any Filipinos in doubt of my testimony, which come from the revelation of the Son of man; for mercy sake, let them read a book of their own history, which is called History of the Philippines-Pelburgomza: Galvanizers of Filipino Freedom and Independence 1812-1872 by Joesmaria Luengo, which includes research findings on Origins and proofs of the Filipino race as Jewish as well as others. Here is a link to begin your research: http://www.museeks.com/books/Salus_Pelburgomza.html Beloved Filipinos: I pray you see the light, and return to that from which you came, to be glorified in the spirit of truth on the Rock of Israel. For you are not Asians as the Chinese and Japanese are; neither Catholics as the Spanish that enslaved you are: but Jews of the Hebrew seed that is Rueben, the eldest son of Jacob, who was born of out of affliction (Genesis 29:32); as Levi was born out of unity (Genesis 29:34); and Judah out of praise (Genesis 29:35); and Simeon out of hate (Genesis 29:33); and Naphtali out of struggle (Genesis 30:8); and Gad out of loyalty (Genesis 30:11); and Asher out of happiness (Genesis 30:13); and Issachar out of blessing (Genesis 30:18); Zebulun out of a good gift (Genesis 30:20); and Joseph out of forgiveness (Genesis 30:23-24); and Manasses and Benjamin out of fulfillment. These are the twelve tribes of Israel according to the names of the twelve that are called in the book of Revelation as the very elect (Revelation 7:4-8). And if any name is omitted: it has not been omitted by me; but by the Lord Jesus Christ. But whether you hear or forbear, where two or three Filipinos are gathered together in the spirit of the truth, so is the Lord there also. And where there be two or three Filipinos gathered, so shall other Filipinos hear their voice of truth to partake of their heavenly calling. These are them that stand on the Rock of the one Lord, one faith, and one baptism of the Holy Scriptures. Now I know there are many Filipinos who do not believe that they are belonging to the tribes of Israel like there are many blacks in this country that cannot imagine themselves as Jews. So be it: but we wait on no man: for when the hour of our preaching is done: one shall be taken and the other shall be left. For we have no time to waste: neither are we sent to convince: but to deliver the Word to those who can hear. So let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to I Corinthians 10:1-12: and let us Read and Hear: “MOREOVER, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall”. Beloved: We know from reading those Scriptures that the Rock is Christ, and that Christ was with the children of Israel in the days of Moses. So why are there some in Israel that say there is no Son of God? It is written in I Samuel: “There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God” (I Samuel 2:2). So is that Scripture saying that there is no Son of God like Jesus claims to be the Son of God? Nay: for it is the lack of understanding that denies Jesus his rightful place because of that Scripture. For it is written in II Samuel: “The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation” (II Samuel 22:47). So if God is the God of the rock of salvation, who is the rock of salvation? It is clearly written my friends in II Samuel 23:2-3: “The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God”. So if the God of Israel said the Rock of Israel spoke to Him, then who is the Rock of Israel? Is that mystery not revealed in I Corinthians 10:4? Let us know therefore then, that, the Rock is the Father and the Son. And with these words do I end my sermon this Sabbath: “And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies” (II Samuel 22:2-4). To my rock that is the Holy One of Israel; and to the God of my rock that is the God of Israel: Amen and Amen. THE CITY OF TRUTH MARCH 15, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the city of Truth, which is the spiritual Jerusalem that shall inherit the earth as a sanctuary for the saints of Christ. May the Lord God of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He preserve us all in the knowledge of the Truth. To my beloved brother Ysmael and his family; and to Florino G. Lusterio, and Julieta M. Lusterio, and Rosanna N. Valderama, and Melvin M. Lusterio, and Michael M. Lusterio, and Annabelle L. Mangulad; and to all the saints of this assembly: I salute you all in the love, and peace, and blessings of the Lord. A place in the New Jerusalem, which is the holy city of Truth, is reserved for each and every one of you. Let no man take away the crown that is reserved for you: for Christ himself has blessed you with his own hands. To my friends and family; the many of you who are advent readers of this website and proclaimed members of this Church: Though my flesh have not laid eyes upon many of you; my spirit dwell in you all; that your suffering is my suffering; and your joy is my joy. For we are bonded by spirit and by truth in the perfection of Christ holiness: And there is nothing that can prevail against us but our own selves. For Christ himself has anointed us with the oil of salvation: and given us the gift of eternal life. For we are no longer called servants; but are worthy to be called sons and daughters of God. So when we, who are belonging to Christ, pass away from the earth, because our flesh must pass away, that we receive a new flesh, which is the new life that come from a baby, that men might know eternal life is; let us not mourn for each other; but let us celebrate the glory of a new life to come. For what is death to us in Christ: but the beginning of a new life. I pray all men receive the gift of God, which is the everlasting life due to a saint of Christ. Beloved children of Israel whom I am called to serve first: I greet each and every one of you in the love of the truth; giving all praise and glory to the only wise God, our Lord and Savior. Bless it be the Holy One of Israel: whose salvation shall never depart from us: and whose mercy shall gather us together from out of the places that we have been scattered, that the light of truth which shine upon us lead all who seek to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth into the way of our footsteps. For we are raised in the spirit of Truth and sent forth with the torch of truth to guide faithful men from out of the land of darkness, that they free themselves from the house of bondage and enter into the city of Truth. For we know that the city of Truth is the city of the Living God: and that the Truth in the city is the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. So let us therefore enter gladly into the city of Truth, which is a holy city that shall possess the new earth to come, that the things done in heaven be done on the earth. For the city of Truth has been prepared by our Lord, that those who were once Gentiles but are converted to be joint-heirs with the seed of Israel, have a place to pray before the very presence of the Most High God. But let no man be mistaken: for Israel is still high above all the nations that are saved: because the servant though a joint-heir cannot be greater than the master. For we know in the Messianic Age that there are seven churches of Christ, which are seven nations of men. And though they all are made of one blood through Jesus Christ, the boundary of their habitation is determined by the Lord, which has been revealed to me by the last will and testament of Christ: For to every church of Christ is given a continent, which is the habitation of saints, whose temple is not a building, but the body of an upright and holy man. For if any think that the temple of God in the Messianic Age shall be a building, let him stand corrected. For what say the Revelation of Jesus Christ: “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it” (Revelation 21:22). But even that holy city shall have bounds: For during the days of the Passover in the Messianic Age, the holy city is reserved for the first fruits of the Lamb, which are the twelve tribes of Israel. For the Passover is a sacred tradition to Israel: and is belonging only to the children of Israel: therefore during the days of the Passover can no other nation enter into the holy city. But for the remaining days of the year, the gates of the holy city shall be open to the nations that bring honor and glory into it; and to all who come to kneel and pray before the holy mountain of Zion. Now I know some have frown over those words because they are excluded from the holy city during the days of the Passover, because they are not of the twelve tribes of Israel; but Paul told us that the Jews have an advantage much in every way; chiefly because unto them were committed the oracles of God (Romans 3:1-2). So think not that I have spoken these words on my own; for I only speak that which I hear from the Spirit of Truth; and from the revelation of the Son of man. For we know that the Jews are the salt of the earth: and the first fruits of the Lamb. And we know that God has not turned His back to Israel; but has returned unto us to fulfill the promise as it is written in the gospel of St. Luke: “He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever” (St. Luke 1:54-55). For we O tribe of Judah and house of Israel, was, is, and shall be the very elect of the Lord. So let us be gathered from the east country, and from the west country, and from the north, and from the south, into the center of the world where the Lord our God do sit. And let us be gathered O tribes of Israel from out of the tongues in which we speak, which is Hebrew, and English, and Spanish, and Tagalog, that we receive a pure language on the pure ground of the New Jerusalem. So let our pilgrimage be not to a land, but to a spiritual place in the truth of our mind. For we shall be gathered on the wings of a seraphim; and brought to a heavenly country, whose ground was known as America, but in the Messianic Age is the purified ground of Israel. Beloved children of Israel: as it is written in the epistle of our brother Paul to the Hebrews: “And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city” (Hebrews 11:15-16): so shall it be. To the general assembly of this website: Those who enter to steal that which is given free; and those who enter to revile; and those of the curious mind; and those who are called in the knowledge of the truth; I say this: If the truth be told, then so are we raised with it; knowing that the world is a lie and the Holy Scriptures the truth. For I have written unto you every Sabbath for almost two years: of this I cannot do of my own will. For in the hour when weariness seek to overtake me; and when my mind is blocked; the Spirit in me rise up in that very same hour to lift me up and to guide me to fulfillment. So I continue; not only because of the will of God; but because of my own volition also as an existence of flesh. For unless I apply my strength first, I cannot receive the strength from the Lord. And that none might be mistaken: Our strength alone cannot prevail over the things in the world: it is the strength of the Lord that be all the glory. Beloved children of the Lord: Those who are called from out of the righteous seed of the European, and the Asian, and the African, and the Indian, and the Latino, and the Arab, and the Jew; are called in the inheritance of joint-heirs: no longer being Gentiles among the Jews, or Jews divided; but all as Jews by nature, which is abiding in the customs of Christ. So let us break the chain of our ignorance, that we put away the heathen ways, that we no longer keep Sunday as the Sabbath; and that we no longer celebrate the whoredom of Easter; neither the abomination of Christmas; nor the doctrine of Christianity. For those things are not according to the customs of Christ: how then can they enter into the city of Truth? Surely you are what you do: And we who are true saints of Christ do the things of Christ: not the things that are fabricated of Christ, which is the falsehood of Christianity. For the world of Christianity is built on things done in part; and on the leniency given by our brother Paul (Colossians 2:13-16) for the sake of converting heathens: But we know that the Lord made Paul an able minister of the new testament not by the letter, but by the spirit (II Corinthians 3:5-6). So we know that Paul fulfilled his purpose; saying, “For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away” (I Corinthians 13:9-10). So be it then that Christianity is done away as are all things of God that are in part; even Islam without Christ. For perfect has come; which is preaching the new testament according to the spirit and the letter; for the whole truth cannot be found without it. Indeed, we who are sanctified in Christ, abide in the whole truth; accepting the knowledge of Jesus Christ through the testimony that is given in the truth of his name. For there are many in the world that distort the Scriptures to fit their own understanding; because they are unlearned and unstable creatures. But if we free ourselves of pride, then we rid ourselves of ignorance, that foolishness does not set in us. For many good men shall fall by reason of their pride, that they be led away by the spirit of error, because of their ego not to stand corrected. Let us pray for them. For some are our brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and fathers, and husbands, and wives. Beloved: stand corrected and without shame: for we all were ignorant at one time. But now are we called into glory, that we put on the crown of life, which is the custom of Christ Jesus, that we be found worthy to enter into the city of Truth: for time is at hand. So let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Zechariah 8:1-23: and let us Read and Hear: “AGAIN the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury. Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvelous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour. But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts. For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong. For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not: So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not. These are the things that ye shall do; speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD. And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also. Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you”. Dearly beloved: I pray you have read and heard every word of the Sabbath text: for I cannot bring words greater than those that are already written save for the last will and testament of Christ as it is written in the Lamb’s book of life. So hear the word that is already written, that you might understand the things that are newly written: for I bring nothing that has not been foretold. For the Lamb’s book of life has been foretold that it would come from the foundation of the world (Revelation 17:8): and the New Jerusalem has been foretold that there shall in no wise enter anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie; but only the things that are written in the Lamb’s book of life (Revelation 21:27). So will not prophecy be fulfilled? Yea for sure: the last will and testament of Christ (the Lamb’s book of life) is the Spirit of Prophecy. But what are the minds of men concerning the prophets? Was not David sent before Goliath that Samuel might be proven a false prophet? Know therefore how the minds of men work; that even in their praise of God there is a jealous heart for their brother and their neighbor. For I am sent as a brother to some and as a neighbor to others; preaching the word of God every Sabbath on the world-wide-web since March 31, 2001; and no man has proven me in error according to the gospel of Christ; yet I am rejected among the churches that claim to love Christ: For not one church has invited me to fellowship; neither Jew nor Gentile. So be it then: for such is the fulfilling of prophecy: for few there be that find the way to life. Beloved: Beware of those that speak with a convincing tongue, that you be not led away with the error of their wickedness. For on these words of our brother Peter do I place that testimony: “And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen” (II Peter 3:15-18). PARENTHOOD MARCH 8, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the knowledge of parenthood. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all in the wisdom of His knowledge. Beloved saints of the Glorious One: We who are called to partake of this heavenly calling are planted upon the earth as trees of righteousness to bear the fruit of the Lord Jesus Christ, that we be wholesome caretakers of his crop in the Messianic Age. And even as some of us are without child, we are still parents, because even the neighbor of a child is a parent in the Messianic Age. And we, being planted in the supplication of the Lord, have been anointed with the oil of Christ wisdom to raise a righteous seed in the Messianic Age. For if any think that a child can raise himself, they are mistaken, and cannot be in the wisdom of Christ. For children are called to be raised by their parents; even as the Lord has raised us. Thus, let us lead our children in the way that our Lord has led us: chastising out of love for the betterment of understanding and discipline. For we know that are our training as parents is not by experience only, but chiefly the word of God. So be it then that we hear what is said to us, whether by tongue or written word: because in the wisdom of Christ we learn that listening is also experiencing. For by listening, we obtain a frame of reference for experiences we have yet to encounter, that when the situation unfolds, we have the knowledge of handling, because we have a frame of reference from listening to the experiences of our parents. Surely our days shall be none different like unto the days of our parents unless we do not repeat the error of our parents, which spirit of error shall come before us as it came before them, to tempt us from out of the righteous way. So is not the Holy Scriptures the cry of parenthood, that, all who listen to the word experience the word through Jesus Christ, that, they might grow as a child of God? For if we repeat the error of our parents, which is clearly written as an experience for us to learn from, it is because we did not experience their suffering from listening. So what then shall become of us? For the Lord our God, even Jesus Christ himself, is a parent to us, that we as an existence of flesh may learn the way to be righteous parents for the children of the Messianic Age. For we are blessed to live in paradise not by spirit only, but also as an existence of flesh, that the righteous things of flesh be manifested on the earth through us. So as a spiritual being, we must learn to live as an existence of flesh in the righteousness of our spirit. We must therefore know the way and stay in the way of preventing sinful flesh from nurturing in our mortal bodies, which we have learned from our Father through His Son Jesus Christ. For if we are born of God to raise our seed as children of God, how can we teach anything that we ourselves have not learned? I pray we have learned by the experience of our fathers to stay in the way of the commandments of our God. I pray we have learned from hearing the Word how to raise our children upright and holy in the knowledge of the Word. I pray that we do not repeat the ways of our fathers, who forsook the law of God, and forgot the discipline of His Name. I pray that the weak of flesh be not counted among us, that by their weakness we all fall. Therefore let us be strong in our parenthood with the heart of wisdom, that, we be sound husbands and wives in our household dedicated to the law of the Lord, that our house be not divided. So let us marry: for it is written, that it is better to marry than to burn. Therefore, let him that is not married, become married. For it is written: “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD” (Proverbs 18:22). So marry in the knowledge of the truth: and be sound in your parenthood: for the parenthood from marriage is the reward of life as an existence of flesh. For here is wisdom: “House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD” (Proverbs 19:14). So be in the Lord, and you shall receive the gifts from the Lord, that your virginity be restored, to bear the fruit of Christ from a womb without sinful flesh. Therefore, let there be no bastards born among us: for bastards shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord: the bastards in flesh and the bastards in spirit. For we are called into the purity of the Lord, that our old bodies be crucified, and our new bodies become resurrected with the life that is Christ Jesus. For whereas we were once whoremongers, and adulterers, and fornicators, and bastards of flesh and spirit: we are now born again through the Spirit of grace and truth, that, we become born of a new life from out of the womb that is the bride of Christ. So let us know then, that, we are the children of Christ. And as the children of Christ, we have adorned ourselves in the sackcloth of his righteousness: being pure and restored as virgins. For I tell you no lie: Though a woman might have bore fourteen children out of wedlock, with a different father for each child, if she become renewed in the knowledge of the truth, her womb is as pure as the womb of an infant. For when one become of Christ, the old things have passed away, and all things are made new. So let your heart turn not away from a woman because the woman has children that are not your own: for what was done in the past is the past. And as you are forgiven to be renewed; so is she also. Beloved men and women called into the marriage of righteousness to raise the crop of the Lord: Be wise caretakers, that in the day of its harvest, the harvest be acceptable unto the Lord. For if you are wise in the Lord, then you will be a wise father and mother, through knowing that wisdom is greater than love, that you spare not the rod of chastisement nor the tongue of reproof in childrearing.. For weak parents bring forth weak children; thus making them vulnerable to the snare of the devil and prey for the waywardness of flesh. Be sound therefore in the knowledge of parenthood: knowing the ways of marriage and family as it is written in the Lamb’s book of life: for such is your guide for the Messianic Age. I pray you be not of a weak heart in the hour of strength: but take heed to the word of God: “Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying” (Proverbs 19:18). Yea for sure: Wisdom must overshadow love! For though I love my son and my daughter, and seek no pain to come to them; my wisdom must allow me to deliver the rod of correction upon them if they should stray from the way. For it is also written: “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him” (Proverbs 22:15). And know this also: “The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall. Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul” (Proverbs 29:15-17). Brothers and Sisters of mine: I speak these words not without understanding, but in the knowledge of the truth that is given. Fall not to the feelings of love belonging to the weakness of flesh, that you do not allow wisdom to sustain your heart. For I am not called to speak with my own understanding; but according to the word that is already written: “Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge. Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine” (Proverbs 23:12-15). So who are they that spare the rod of correction upon their children, but those that hate their own children, even the way of God; thus, they cannot be good caretakers; but are fallen to the ignorance from which they came, to be snared into corruption by a heart without wisdom, that they incubate cursed children who are sent from the lowest hell to spoil the good crop of the Lord. Know therefore that these parents are sent forth as a test for the elders of the city, to see whether the wisdom of the elders might overshadow their love for life to cast the judgment of death upon the seed of corruptible parents: even as the children of disobedience are sent forth as a test for good parents, that they might prove themselves to be worthy caretakers of the crop. For the Most High shall continually put you to a test in the Messianic Age, that you prove yourself strict in the law with each passing generation. For we know that Satan shall be loosened after a thousand years; and that a day with the Lord is as a thousand years; and a thousands years as a day. So who can count the days when Satan shall be loosened from her prison? So I Cornelius, summoned in the Spirit of Truth, which is the embodiment of the Holy Ghost: speak to the children and parents of this world as I speak to the children and parents of the world to come: “CHILDREN, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:1-4). Parents: Be strict in your childrearing as your Father is strict in His law. For if we are made in the likeness of the Father, then our ways are His ways; and our law is His law. But because some parents are not strict in the law, but ignore discipline, they have incubated children of disobedience, which are cursed children that do not obey their parents, nor respect them, but have become rulers over their own parents; these are little children. Who are these parents that allow their children to rule the household, but a waste: seeking help from talk shows when the power is in their own hand. I have no sympathy for them or their children: for they all are condemned to damnation if they repent not. For these are the children that shall grow to be as it is written in II Peter: “But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet” (II Peter 2:12-16). And these parents that allow their children to rule over them are dead souls, like wells without water, and vessels of flesh without life. What place then can their mind have in the Messianic Age? Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Hebrews 12:5-9: and let us Read and Hear these words that are written for parents and the children of parents: “And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?” Let us know then that parenthood was taught unto us by our Father which art in heaven; even in those few words we have spoken this Sabbath. For we who are wise in our parenthood give the rod of correction to our children, that their chastisement come from us and not the Lord. For we live for the Messianic Age: and if chastisement come from the Lord in the Messianic Age, it come without redemption. So let us lead our children in the right way: instructing them according to the word of God, that their feet be steadfast and un-moveable in the way of the Lord. And in these days at hand, which are the days of the beast, we who are parents of a righteous seed seek not to spare our life, but the life of our children, that they be counted among the first-fruits of the Lamb. For the children should not sacrifice their life for the parents: but the parents for the children. Brothers and Sisters of mine: To the children of Israel do I come first, in all things, being that salvation is of the Jews. But I am given unto you all; every seed belonging to the seven churches of Christ, which is the righteous seed of the European, and the Asian, and the African, and the Latino, and the Indian, and the Arab; whose mother of them all is the holy city of Jerusalem. And here is wisdom: I take nothing from the six churches of Christ; but the seventh is the parent of the six. And that no man be left without understanding of those words, the parent of the six is Israel. And that no man be mistaken: The twelve tribes of Israel are scattered about in various places upon the earth: but our destination is the place men call America, but is Vespucci. For the land men know as Israel is not: and the people men know as Jews are not. But we who are Jews, and true to our Hebrew blood; whether we speak in Hebrew, or English, or Spanish, or Tagalog; are still Jews by nature and birth in the parenthood of the Lord: for from out of those tongues are we all called to receive a pure language in the Messianic Age. Beloved saints of Christ: Of the things I have spoken this Sabbath on parenthood, this is the sum: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD BONDAGE MARCH 1, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in my deliverance from bondage. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He deliver us all from the yoke of bondage which is the consequences of sin and ignorance. Beloved children of Israel: Bless it be the coming of the Most High God; whose glory is higher than the heavens; and whose honor is without cease. For was it not His mighty hand alone that delivered us from out of our bondage in Egypt; and from out of our bondage in Babylon; and from out of the bondage that has been repeated in Vespucci? Indeed the Lord our God has bestowed His mercy upon us, that, the horror of our ignorance be forgiven. For our God has heard the cries of the righteous in bondage, that, our days become as it is written: “And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them” (Exodus 2:24-25). Yea for sure, He has delivered us from out of the shadow of our ignorance. For we would be blind fools without the mercy of our God, who through His grace has led us by the way of the prophets, and who has kept us by the Light of Christ Jesus. The Lord our God has delivered us from out of the yoke of slavery; not by the hand of Abraham Lincoln; but by His hand alone. For if the truth be known, Abraham Lincoln did not sign the Emancipation Proclamation for the sake of righteousness; but because the North was losing a war that they could not have won without the infantry of the so-called Negroes. But in our bondage, we were taught that the sixteenth President of Vespucci was an honest man, when he was a liar, and a beast. For where is our forty acres and a mule that was mandated by their law? So we know that even the law of the Gentile is a lie: But we despise not their government, to riot; but wait on the vengeance of the Lord. Indeed, when we free ourselves from the bondage of our mind, we find that Vespucci is Rome, even Egypt. We find that we were master builders and mathematicians, by which all men have learned, and some have stolen. We find that we were set in the beginning as the head, as we are in the end. But I am set at liberty from the bondage of darkness and corruption by the Spirit of the Lord, to speak unto you as it is written in the book of Isaiah: “THE Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified” (Isaiah 61:1-3). For I bring you a sign that many cannot see: and deliver you a message that many cannot perceive. But I am who I say I am: and I speak in the Spirit of he that send me: saying as he so spoke when he stood before your fathers who you are: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord” (St. Luke 4:18-19). So to my brothers and sisters of Israel: I pray for you all: for you all are set free. Let no man bind you again, that your mind be not free. For as I look out unto these days at hand, I hear young black professional males speaking with the voice of the so-called white man. Is that not bondage? For I remember not long ago, that when we spoke to a man over the phone, we would know if the man was black or a so-called white. But now in these days at hand, you do not know, because young black males have consciously altered their tone of voice to sound like a so-called white man. Is this not bondage, to be ashamed of your own heritage, that you believe you must sound like a so-called white man to be accepted as a professional? Why have many been led to believe that a black voice do not sound professional? Is it not because of the bondage of indoctrination that come from the colleges of Vespucci, that instruct blacks to distance themselves from their own culture? Do you not know that we as black people began civilization? I pray for those among us, who have fallen into the bondage of the Vespuccian way. These are those who are in bondage all their lifetime because they fear death. But we, who are true to our heritage; knowing that we are Hebrews of the original seed, and the first man to walk upon the face of the earth; thus making our seed the father of all men; are set free from the house of bondage because our mind is set free. We are not a friend to the world, that we become disappointed by the things in the world: because even though we are in the world, we are not of the world. Indeed, nothing can precede what the flesh will feel, so the feeling of disappointment will occur: but in walking after the Spirit, the feeling of disappointment will not become a thought of action. For we follow the path of life, which is the hope of things to come: knowing that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. So what are the things in the world not given to us, but the things that are not due to us? Verily, we set ourselves in bondage when we become disappointed by the things of the world. For the things of the world are the things we see and touch with flesh: but we are called by faith in the knowledge that is written: “For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it” (Romans 8:24-25). So are we not in the world that we might set others free, that we all be saved in the hope of Jesus Christ? For without hope, how can a man free his mind from bondage? And is our hope set on the things that come from the world? Nay: our hope is in the world to come, where politics have no role in any decision, but sound knowledge and understanding. Beloved congregation of the Lord: I beseech no man to come unto us: but I tell every man that there is no life without us. For we are not of this world: but from a place where many fear to tread, which is the spiritual world, which is a spiritual mind, where there is a thin line between sanity and insanity, a wise man and a fool, because the use of the imagination is prevalent. Indeed, no man is free from bondage except his mind is set free. For we must conquer our captures, which are not the Gentiles, but our own minds: for in our mind is the house of bondage: and in our mind is the house of the Lord. Verily, I have said unto you before, that, we have many minds. For whatsoever bring forth a feeling, also bring forth a thought: and whatsoever bring forth a thought is a mind. For in the mind are members (feelings and thoughts), warring against one another. These things must be, because it is the nature of sinful flesh, by which we all are born into this world. But in our liberty, which come by the knowledge of understanding our human nature, that we overcome the nature of our sinful flesh, to be born of God, that no sin be found in us; because the end justifies the means if the end is righteous: so are we called to be saints; and worthy to judge the world; because Christ come with an army of saints to judge and make war. So we, who were sinners, are set at liberty from the bondage of sin; not because of grace alone; but also, because of our will to change. It is written my friends: “Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin” (Romans 7:20-25). So are you not then, a servant to that which you obey? A servant to God if you obey the law of God: and a servant to sin if you obey the law of sin. Have not the Scriptures taught these words that I am sent to bring forth understanding through the Holy Ghost? It is written: “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness” (Romans 6:16-18). So as servants of righteousness, are we not called to preach the truth daily? And if we are called in the truth, if any is offended, how then can the truth be in them? For our testimony does not come without the fire of Jesus Christ, which is the New Testament according to the letter: for we are not sent in part as Paul preached in part: but in the wholeness of every word that is written in the Holy Scriptures with red letters. And there can be none found worthy among us save those that are free from the house of bondage, which is the captivity of anything unrighteous. For we are taken up in the Spirit to walk after the Spirit even as we live in flesh: for we know that there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus: because they walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. For it is written: “For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God” (Romans 8:5-8). Dear friends of mine: Many knowledgeable men have turned from the way of the Lord because of the stupidity they have seen from others who call on the name of the Lord: for even by the stupidity of other men have Satan snared knowledgeable men into bondage. For if any man turn from the name of the Lord, has he not fallen into bondage? So unto those who have turned from the name of Jesus Christ, because of the ignorance that celebrates his name: know you yourself have become ignorant in your knowledge by allowing yourself to seek the truth without the name of Jesus Christ. For you can surely find pieces of the truth without his name: this is given as a snare to continue in the way whose end is death. But only with the whole truth, which come by the fullness of Christ name, can one be saved from the way of death. For the knowledge of the truth is not given in part: and all things that were given in part have passed away. What then is given to the things in part but death? So to you who are knowledgeable men, seeking the way of truth, without the name of Jesus Christ: Repent I pray, that you come into the understanding that was hidden from the earth, which has now been revealed by the testimony at hand, that you be set free from your bondage of misunderstanding. For the crown of life is not given in part: and the beginning and end of all things is Jesus Christ. So though a man might have knowledge, he cannot be saved without the wisdom that is Christ Jesus. For unless he receives the wisdom of Christ with the knowledge of Christ, he will become as them that have escaped the pollutions of the world, but are entangled again therein. I pray you be not as the dog that has returned to his vomit again. Beloved children of the Lord: Beware: for in our congregation sit spies; seeking to make themselves trustworthy of us. But we know them as it is written: “And because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage” (Galatians 2:4). Verily if there be any among us taken captive by them, they are not worthy of us. So we say unto you all, who stand before us in the only Church of God, as it is written: “STAND fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage” (Galatians 5:1). Verily, we have set you all free from the bondage of ignorance and sin with the testimony at hand. I pray for you all: that you be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage: for who can save you when the mercy of God depart from the earth? For if you are called to partake of this heavenly calling, that you find a place among this holy assembly, I speak to you as it is written: “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15). For unto them that partake of this assembly, which is the Lamb’s book of life, is given a new life through the baptism of the Holy Ghost, that they receive the knowledge of the truth, to be born of God. And if any are born of God, they are not born of spirit only; but of spirit and truth. For we are not set at liberty from bondage by the spiritual mind alone: but by the spiritual mind of truth. We are delivered up by our predestination to come before the ears of the World-Wide-Web in the boldness that is the crown of truth, that in our liberty we might set all who give an ear free from the bondage of Vespucci, and from the blind way. For we are summoned in flesh not to life, but to death: knowing that our death is your freedom. Yea for sure our death is not in vain: for there is great joy in heaven over one sinner turned righteous, which we are. So if there be none that join us from out of the earth, we are fulfilled by our own righteousness, which has set us free from the house of bondage, which was the ignorance of our mind. So in my liberty, that do not fear what man can do to me, I continue in the Spirit; preaching as it was spoken by our brother Paul: “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God” (Romans 8:16-21). We are the children of God: and the creature is in us: and is the manifestation of us. And if we are manifested as the children of God, then the creature in us is of righteousness like unto the Spirit of Christ. But if any are manifested as the children of the devil, then the creature in them is of unrighteousness like unto the spirit of Balaam. Be therefore of a sound mind: for in the mind is found both heaven and hell: because in the mind is the knowledge of good and evil. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to II Peter 2: 9-22: and I pray you Read and Hear: “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest: to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again: and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire”. And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE CUSTOM FEBRUARY 22, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the custom that is Christ Jesus. May the Holy One of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in among us: and may He preserve us all in the custom of His ways. Beloved children of God: I have known the custom of man and the custom of God; and that the custom of God is better. For the custom of man is transgression; but the custom of God is to fear the Lord. The custom of man is to follow a lie; but the custom of God is to follow the truth. The custom of man is to be deceived; but the custom of God is the impossibility to be deceived. The custom of man is the waywardness of this President, who in the name of peace seeks to slay innocent lives. The custom of God is the righteousness of a saint, who in the name of peace, humble himself before his enemies. The custom of man is the inspiration and journey to explore the darkness of the universe; but the custom of God is to cultivate the earth with the love and truth of His only begotten Son. We who walk in the custom of God are not led into outer space, to walk on the moon, or to be among the stars seen from earth, which are the wandering stars reserved for the blackness of darkness forever. For it is surely written: “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind” (Revelation 6:12-13). So what place would a man seek on the moon, other than to escape the plagues of the seventh seal, which shall come upon all who are unrighteous on the earth? And what place do a man have among the stars of heaven, when they shall be cast down into the earth? Therefore, to be an astronaut, or to be among the curious of outer space to journey therein, it is not the custom of God, but the custom of man. This is the man born of a woman, whose days shall be short upon the land and full of trouble. For if a man stand in the custom of God, he is not born of a woman, but of God; being born of the Spirit; thus incorruptible. For do we not know, that, because of corruptible flesh, we must be born again after delivery from the womb, that we be born incorruptible by the Spirit whose custom is the fear of God? So I say these words to you my friends in the Spirit of one greater than Paul: “BE ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman is of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels” (I Corinthians 11:1-10). I pray you have heard the words you read with understanding, that you journey not into the lost world of misunderstanding, neither allow the mind to drift into the things that are common among men. For if we dwell in the common, our common is not of man, but in the likeness of a son of God. So our sense, which is spiritual discernment, is common sense, because our common is the custom of Christ. Surely if we follow in the custom of Christ Jesus, we cannot be led astray, unless we do not know the custom of Christ Jesus. And how can we not know the custom of Christ Jesus when he has given us his direct testimony as our guide: even all that is written in the four gospels? For it is not written in the gospel of St. Luke: “And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read” (St. Luke 4:16)? So let us therefore know that one custom of our Lord is reading the Scriptures on the Sabbath day before an assembly of Jews: even those who were Gentiles but are converted to a Jew by the rebirth of their nature; because they have forsaken the law of this world, which is the custom of man, to live as a Jew by nature and not as a sinner of the Gentiles. For what say the Scriptures: “We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” (Galatians 2:15-21). Beloved: If we follow in the custom of Christ Jesus, then we abide in his commandments, which are the commandments of God; and in the things he commanded that we do in remembrance of him. So what custom do a man follow when he observe the Sabbath day as the first day of the week? Is that custom not of man? And what custom do a man follow when he do not observe the Passover? Is that custom not of man? And what custom do a man follow when he drink wine for the communion? Is that custom not of man? For we know that the Sabbath is the seventh day, which is Saturday. And are these words not the words of our Lord and Savior himself: “Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat” (St. Luke 22:8)? And are these not the words of our Lord and Savior himself: “I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come” (St. Luke 22:18)? So what was the drink in the cup of communion, if not the fruit of the vine, which is wine? I tell you no lie: The drink in the cup of communion that is the custom of the Lord is water. I speak not with an opinion; neither with my own interpretation; but with the common sense of a son of God. For it was spoken from the mouth of our Lord and Savior himself: “For whosoever shall give you a cup of water in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward” (St. Mark 9:41). Such is why water and blood poured from the side of our Lord when he was pierced by the spear of the Roman soldier, that men might know that the custom of the Lord is to drink water for the blood of Christ. Verily, the Lord gave us the custom of unleavened bread and water for his body and blood, as it is written: “And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you” (St. Luke 22:17-20). So let us abide in the custom of the Lord, which is the truth of the Lord, that we do not eat and drink ourselves into damnation. For if a man continue to abide in the custom of man after the truth of the Lord has been revealed to him, what can his end be, but the destiny of a fool? So I say unto all men: Is Christmas the custom of our Lord? Nay: It is the custom of heathens. Is Easter the custom of our Lord? Nay: it is the custom of pagans. Is Sunday as the Sabbath day the custom of our Lord? Nay: It is the custom of the Nicolaitanes who are the fathers of Catholicism. Is Christianity the custom of our Lord? Nay: It is the custom of falsehood. Repent I command, every one of you, who abide in any of those customs, that you be baptized in the Seven Keys, that your crown be not removed. For the way of those things that are practiced among men as the normalcy of a Christian (a worshipper of God in spirit and truth), are the customs of man and not God. Be not deceived by a spirit without truth: for what is it to call on the name of the Lord without the truth of His name? Have you not violated the third commandment? And if one should say, Jesus made the Ten Commandments into Two. I say unto that man, Have you not violated then, the first commandment (St. Mark 12:29)? I pray for you: Be not contentious, having controversy over that which is not opinionated, because it is the truth: for such is not our custom, neither any church of Christ. So how say any man or church, that, they serve the Lord, and not abide in the custom of the Lord, which is the truth? There is no man or church in the custom of God save the man and church in the spirit and truth of God, which is the custom of an upright and holy Jew, which is the custom of Christ Jesus. So how can any man walk in the custom of God without the nature of a Jew in Christ? Yea for sure, we come to convert those that seek to be saved from the crown of death, that they behold the glorious light of truth that shine from the wisdom and knowledge of the truth. Yea for sure, we who are called to be sons of God are raised in the custom of Christ Jesus; not by the birth of our flesh; neither by the blood of our forefathers; but by the nature of our ways. For we, being both Jews and Gentiles in the flesh, are made into the nature of one blood, which is the custom of walking in flesh without sin. I cannot express enough, the necessity to rid your body of all unrighteousness. For no man, nor woman, neither any child, can receive the crown of life in sin. Indeed I know, I have made many angry, because I tell you the truth. Indeed I know, that, many hate me, because I have uncovered their ignorance. But were we not all ignorant at one time? So let us humble ourselves to accept correction in the love that it is given: for only the crown of pride will keep a righteous heart in the darkness of their ignorance: what then will become of that righteous heart? Will it not fall prey to the Deceiver from Hell, whom many are snared by their ignorance to believe I am? Indeed I speak with undisputable truth: and stand in the only Church of God: believing on the things I cannot touch with the hands of flesh: and looking at the things that cannot be seen with the eyes of flesh. And if I am lost, let me be lost to this world, that I be found unto God. For we know that whosoever is a friend to this world is an enemy of God: for the custom of the world is not the custom of God. Follow in the custom of God and you shall see the light of salvation and the glory to come. Peace be with thee: I pray for you all. My friends: We have no time to waste: And if we are found repeating ourselves, know it is spoken for the sake of the new ear. For each and every day, a new ear is sent unto us, that they might hear the voice of truth, that the gospel no longer be hid from them. So let there be none among us lost in the way of common sense, that they give a deaf ear to the gospel at hand. For it is written: “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them” (II Corinthians 4:3-4). Brethren: let no man, or woman, neither any child have an excuse: for whosoever seek the truth let him find the truth: because the truth is in our testimony which we freely give. For there is only one Lord, one Faith, and one Baptism: All these things are belonging to the one Church of God, which is the seed of the seven churches belonging to Christ. This is the righteous seed of the Asian, and the Indian, and the Latino, and the European, and the African, and the Arab, and the Hebrew. And of every one, do our Lord so love. And of every one, has He so chosen. And of every one, shall He so save. Thus, let there be no division among those who are called to be saints, as there is no division among the saints in the Church of God: for we are indeed resurrected in the Truth: knowing the things in the world at hand are the customs of man and not God. And with that knowledge, we dwell not in temples made with man’s hand; but in the temple that is risen with Christ from the dead, which is an upright and holy body without sin. And let no man think, that, because our church is the body, that we do not make our tithes and offering to the Lord: for our tithes is our labor for the truth; as we preach the word of God into every ear, that no man, or woman, nor child, might have an excuse: And our offering is a pure heart and a undefiled body that is presented daily before the presence of the Lord in the custom of the Lord. And think not, that, we are summoned to take away: for we are not called to take away, but to add to the congregation of the Lord. And if any man is taken away from the congregation of the Lord, he has taken himself away: because no man can remove your crown of grace but your own doing. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to I Corinthians 11:23-34: and let us Read and Hear: “For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come”. Beloved people of the earth: I lay before you the custom of man and the custom of the Lord. I pray you receive the custom of the Lord; doing the things he so commanded in remembrance of him. I pray you do things as they are rightly given: eating and drinking from the Lord’s table in worthiness. For I am not set before you to offend any man in his understanding of the Lord; but to rightly guide every man into the way of salvation. And if I am disappointed by anything, let me not be disappointed by the things of the world, that I may know no disappointment. For in the things that are of God, which are the heavenly things, I can receive no disappointment. For if things be due to me in this world, then I shall receive it: not by walking in craftiness, nor with hidden dishonesty, neither by handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the destiny of my days as a spiritual being in a vessel of flesh. For as we are delivered into the world, to live among the common people of the world; all things that we seek in the world are not belonging to us: so though I might seek a bigger home, it might not be the destiny of my days: and though I might seek a higher employment, it might not be the destiny of my days. But I seek it anyway through the effort that is rightly judged: and if I receive it not, I am not disappointed, because I know it is not the destiny of my days. For if I were to be disappointed by the things I do not receive in the world from my effort to receive them, I would be a friend to the world, and not to God. So in the custom of the Lord as an existence of flesh, I do mind the things that are rightly in the flesh, which is character, confidence, and responsibility. And if I apply those things to my daily walk, what disappointment can there be for me? So as I stand in the custom of the Lord before my competitors like David against Goliath: I stand not only with faith, but also with the knowledge and experience to complete the task with an excellent grade. Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE CROWN FEBRUARY 15, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well with the crown of life. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: And may we all be found standing with a crown of life in the day when the Lord shall appear with His holy angels to cast Judgment upon all the earth. Beloved: all who are called to be saints of Christ: I pray for you all, that you take your place in the knowledge of the truth, that you might endure the baptism of fire to receive the golden crown of life. For unless one endure the baptism by fire, they shall in no wise receive an incorruptible crown, which is the crown of the Holy Ghost, which is the reward of a martyr and one who endures the patience of a saint. For many are crowned with the crown of grace, to be called to receive the crown of the Holy Ghost: but only a few are chosen to receive it; because only a few are found worthy at the end of their baptism by fire. So stand upright and holy in the knowledge of the truth with the faith of the Son of man (St. Luke 12:29-31), that no man might take away your crown of life. For we who are resurrected to life are resurrected by the crown of life: and those who are resurrected to death are resurrected by the crown of death: and you who are resurrected with a chance to be saved from the crown of death are resurrected by the crown of grace. So fall not from grace: for to fall from grace is to lose your crown from off your head, because you have sinned after receiving grace. For a crown of grace cannot stay upon the head of a sinful man if he continue in sin. So how can he endure the baptism by fire without the crown of grace, which is given freely to all who are called to the life of Jesus Christ? God forbid that any man be able to take your crown of grace except for the corruptible man in you: for if the crown of grace fall from your head, it has fallen because you have turned from the way of truth to be captive by the snare of the devil. So if your crown fall off your head, has it not fallen because you have cast it to the ground? For what say the Scriptures: “Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground” (Psalms 89:39). Indeed no man can take your crown from off your head: only you have the power to remove your crown by forsaking the way of truth. So beware of the corruptible man in you, that in your grace you receive the baptism in the knowledge of the truth, that you become whole in the incorruptible armor of God. For the will of the devil, which is the corruptible man in you that have not known incorruption, is to snare you to the life of sin, that by your transgression of the truth, your crown of grace be removed by your own hand. And if your crown is removed, will you not become a mind of ignorance? And if you seek to find a crown of righteousness in the mind of ignorance, will you not fall prey to the many crowns of the world, which are cheap imitations of the crown that fell from off your head? For in the world there are many crowns that lead a man astray in the name of righteousness. There is the crown of pride: and the crown of fools: and the crown of lust: and the crown of greed: and the crown of selfishness: and the crown of blasphemy: and the crown of mastery. All those crowns will lead a man astray in the name of righteousness. I pray you pick none of them up; neither let the crown of grace fall from off your head. For you are given grace to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which is the knowledge of the truth, that you receive the faith and strength to endure the baptism of fire that turns your crown to gold. For when your crown turn to gold, you have been tested as gold is gold is tested, and refined as silver is refined, to be pure in the image and likeness of Christ. Beloved children of grace: You are given a crown of grace, which is a resurrection to rid yourself of sin, that your crown turn to gold by your martyrdom, or by your endurance of a great tribulation. Then shall you be like unto us, who are like unto Christ. For the time is at hand: and many shall find themselves as it is written in the book of Lamentations: “The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!” (Lamentations 5:16). So sin not: for sin cast the crown of grace to the ground. For how can a man be of Christ grace, yet continue in sin? Is the Lord a God of sinners made righteous to become sinners again? Or is the Lord a God of sinners made righteous to avoid sin again? We know that no man can preach Christ in sin: and that no man can be saved in sin. So depart from all iniquity: for to do such is to abide in the covenant of the Lord. I pray for you all: Let not the crown of grace fall from off your head. For if it fall, how then can you receive it again, unless you find your way through a maze to the path of truth? And if it fall when the mercy of God depart from the earth, how shall you receive it again, when there is no forgiveness of transgression? Dear children of grace: Be not deceived to receive the crown of the world: but rather receive ye the crown of righteousness, and life, and glory. These things await you if you endure unto the end. For we who are called to be saints, are called to be soldiers in the army of the Lord. In flesh, we are not called to make war on men, but to battle lies with truth; and to endure hardness by faith. In spirit, when we have ascended to our glory with a crown of gold, then shall some of us be called to judge and to make war on the earth. For our Lord Jesus Christ shall come to judge and make war with an army of ten thousand saints, which are mighty angels, as it is written in Jude 14-15 and II Thessalonians 1:7-10. And even if some of us are not called to be among that number, are we not still the soldiers of Christ, because we are His saints? Have we not fought our battle in flesh and won, by overcoming the nature of our sinful flesh? Have we not fought our battle and won, by not fearing what man can do to us? Have we not fought our battle and won, by enduring unto the end? Beloved: I pray you receive your crown of righteousness as it is written: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that last day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” (II Timothy 4:7-8). Beloved: I pray you receive your crown of life as it is written: “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him” (James 1:12). Beloved: I pray you receive the crown of glory as it is written: “And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” (I Peter 5:4). Dearly beloved Church of God: In the love for the knowledge of the truth, which is the pure love of Jesus Christ, I salute you all. And let the skeptics remain amused: for the smile upon their faces and the sarcasm of their tongue shall quickly turn to horror, and a place without comfort, and a life without hope. For they are dead men and women walking with the illusion of life, which shall be removed from before their eyes, that the realization of their reservation into everlasting death perplex their mind. For there is but one way to life, which is the crown of truth, which is the perfect testimony of Jesus Christ. We, who are called before you, are not called from out of the house of opinions; neither are we called from out of the darkness of the world. We are summoned from the light to stand in the light that is the knowledge of the truth: and those that are resurrected in the truth know us. So let us grow strength from the scorners as we do battle against them: for they can only speak against us in their own words. But we speak with the words of Jesus Christ Himself: who then shall be victorious in the end? Brothers and Sisters of mine: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to II Timothy 2:1-16: and let us Read and Hear: “THOU therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. And if man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. The husband that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness”. Brothers and Sisters of mine: You who are called to be saved from the seed of the European, and the Indian, and the Latino, and the African, and the Asian, and the Arab, and the Hebrew: By the power that is invested in me from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, I bless you in the crown of the Holy Ghost which you have received by your baptism in the knowledge of the truth. And I pray you endure the baptism of fire, which is to come, that your crown become the crown of gold that sit upon the head of one like unto the Son of man (Revelation 14:14). And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD THE SWORD OF THE LORD FEBRUARY 8, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well with the sword of the LORD. May the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may the sword of the LORD that proceed from the mouth of His saints, be not cast upon flesh, but upon the evil spirits of flesh. To the general assembly of this holy place: Do we not know that time is at hand? Are we surprised by any of the signs that are given? Do we not know that the space shuttle is the work of evil: and that the angel of the Lord crushed it with the palm of his hand as a sign of the times? Lament not for the calamities that shall fall upon America and her allies, which are many to come, because these things must be. For a great wound must surely be inflicted upon the Great Whore, whom the earth call America, because the Revelation of Jesus Christ must be fulfilled. So why should we lament for the things that draw us closer to the hour of rapture? But let us not celebrate on the woes to come, which shall bring weeping and mourning for America and her allies: but let us prepare ourselves for the great tribulation to come, which shall surely come as it is written in Revelation 6:9-11. And be that when the Death angels arrive at your door, your door be found as the door of Christ, that, the Death angels pass over you, because you are belonging to the Life of God: because the tithes you give is the labor for the truth of His name; and the offering you present is a body without sin. So be wise in your faith; and sin not in your redemption that come from the baptism of the Holy Ghost, that you fall not from grace. For when the fifth seal is loosened; there shall be no forgiveness of transgression from the truth, neither any sacrifice found to wash away the sins of the body. For the Holy Ghost, which is the Spirit of truth, has been set before you according to the perfect testimony of Jesus Christ. And as he so spoke: “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” (St. Matthew 12:32): so shall it be. For the Lord has sent his shepherd to you, that the way be made known to all the nations, even to the isles of the heathens. But when the fifth seal is loosened, the judgment from the gospel of Christ shall come according to the spirit and the letter, that, those who waver be left without. So my dear brothers and sisters: know the time of fulfillment is at hand: and prepare yourselves to endure a great tribulation. For those days of forty and two months are nearer than you think: so be wise and store food and water for the days to come. And when the food and water that is stored is consumed, be not afraid, because the Spirit of the Lord shall fill your body and quench your thirst. And you shall have need of nothing; but the faith and trust in the things you cannot see with the eyes of flesh, nor touch with the hand of flesh. For the word of God alone shall deliver you from the fire, which is the trouble from the sword of the Lord: but not before first being tested as gold is tested; because you must prove yourself worthy to inherit the paradise of God as an existence of flesh; because as an existence of flesh shall the saints dwell in the paradise of God. For do we, being resurrected in flesh, not know that we can live in heaven in flesh? And do we not know that the earth is the heaven of heavens? Can we not look around the earth and see paradise? But before one can enter into the Messianic Age, where the wolf and lamb shall feed together, they must be baptized with the Holy Ghost, which is the acceptance of the truth; then baptized with fire, which is the tribulation of a saint. These things must surely come first, before you can enter into a mansion in the house of God. Thus, know the meaning behind the words that are written in St. Matthew 3:11: “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire”. And for the sake of one that do not understand, I say this: The baptism of water is repentance: and the baptism of the Holy Ghost is to convert to the truth: and the baptism of fire is proving yourself worthy as an existence of flesh. Verily, we know the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Thus, a man must be in the likeness of Christ to enter into the body of Christ without being vomited out. So as Jesus came as an example, to teach us, and to show us how to overcome the world by overcoming the nature of sinful flesh; because he, being sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, overcame sin, through the fear of God: so are we also to follow in his footsteps, that we overcome sin, through the fear of God. For what sin shall a man commit if he fear the retribution from God, which shall come upon all manner of unrighteousness? So unless one present themselves as the offering of a body without sin, they shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of God. For who can be counted among the saved from the sword of the Lord, but them that carry the sword of the Lord in the wholeness of righteousness? For they are as us: and we are holy and righteous still after our trials and tribulation, which must surely come upon all the saints as it is written in the book of Daniel: “And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time” (Daniel 7:24-25). This king is indeed a President of America: and this President is not George W. Bush: but another from out of the Republican Party. And though he shall speak the same mighty words as President Bush: and shall fulfill the same policy: this President is cunning in his speech; understanding dark sentences; and bearing the countenance of a madman. Beloved: Here is wisdom: Even us, who are slain for the word of God, are slain by the sword of the Lord. But our death which is life, come by the hand of brute beasts, because the Lord shall give His sword into their hand, that those who put their trust in the eyes of flesh be snared by the illusion of our death, that they be justly counted among the great slaughter that shall come from the Sword of the LORD in the hand of His Christ. Brothers and Sisters of mine: know that our death by the sword of the Lord is a sacrifice: as we offer up our life as an existence of flesh for the remission of our sins, that we may enter into the paradise of God from out of the womb of a sinless woman, that we become a generation of sinless people for the Messianic Age. But even as our death is a sacrifice; so is it also a test, that those among us who fear him that can kill the flesh, be revealed as weak and feeble sheep, that they be scattered and consumed; and their little ones killed with the death from God. For what purpose can they bring to our fellowship of truth, when they fear the things of flesh over the things of Spirit? But the true sheep of God fear not: so they do not scatter from the way when the shepherd is slain: but are wise to hide themselves until they are delivered up. For as it is written: “Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God” (Zechariah 13:7-9): so shall it be. Beloved: When Jesus said: “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it” (St. Matthew 10:38-39): he was not speaking of taking the cross as a symbol of worship: he was speaking of not being afraid to die for the truth. Jesus Christ, being in the custom and tradition of a Jew, did not take up the cross as a sign of worship. The cross was a tool used for death by the hand of unbelieving Gentiles, which became an idol of worship for Christians when Christ was slain. But what are idols before the eyes of God? So what is a cross in the eye of God? Be not misled to believe that because Paul was preaching the cross, we should honor the cross still. Truly, the blood of Christ sanctified even the things of hell, that all things have life till the hour of the Second Advent, because Christ is both Lord of the living and the dead. So even the cross on which Christ was slain was sanctified: and what was once an abhorred thing became a symbol of the Christian faith among the believing Gentiles. But know this: these things that were said and done for leniency sake (ministering by the spirit of the gospel and not by the spirit and letter of the gospel), even so that the heathen in his ignorance might learn to love the Lord (the preaching of the cross), were done in part (I Corinthians 13:9). So put away the Gentile cross from before you, that it be not found on your body, neither in your house. For the hour of perfect is at hand (I Corinthians 13:10): so that which was given in part has passed away. Be that you free yourselves from it, that, you pass not away with it. Verily I say unto you: There are some close to us that shall fall by the wayside, being snared by the eyes of flesh, which is the darkness that leads into the bottomless pit. And there be some among us, that when the sword of the Lord is put into the hand of brute beasts, who shall rise up to slay us; because where there is a testament there must also of necessity be the death of the testator, even the death of the fellow servant; they shall scatter from among our assembly and seek refuge among the lost sheep of the idol shepherd that betrayed us. But as it is written: “Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened” (Zechariah 11:17): so shall it be. Brothers and Sisters of mine: Do we not know that the light has uncovered the darkness: and the sword of the Lord has pierced through the soul of many, that the hidden thoughts from their heart be revealed? There is nothing that can be hidden from the eyes of truth: for the light of truth has shined upon all things of darkness to reveal the hidden things of men and earth. For some that confess to be your friend is not your friend; but bring kisses of deceit. And many that confess to be ministers of God are defenders of falsehood. Indeed the sword of the Lord, which is the word of God, has sliced through the thick darkness of Christianity, that the innocent might see the light, to know the way thereof is falsehood, and that the snare of Christianity is the net that is carried into the bottomless pit. So beware: for anything without the whole truth is a lie: and love without wisdom is foolishness. Be not counted among the fools: for the time is at hand. So let us prepare ourselves: for now is the hour that these words shall be fulfilled as they were so spoken by our Christ: “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me” (St. Matthew 10:34-37). Thus, what love should any righteous man hold, but the love that is overcome by his wisdom? For unless his wisdom overshadow his love, how can he love Christ more than his mother, or his wife, or his son? Think not that because I come with open rebuke that I do not love. For it is written: “Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful” (Proverbs 27:5-6). So we, who are called in the true name of the Lord, show our love with open rebuke, and admonishment: because we tell you such that you might be saved. And though our word might cause a wound upon you, because from out of our mouth go the sharp sword of the Lord; your acceptance of the truth shall heal you; because in Christ is the power of healing. Moreover, it was spoken from the mouth of our Lord Jesus Christ: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (St. John 15:13). Are you not our friends, because you do as Christ so commanded? And are we not laying down our lives for you, because we speak the truth in a world that is govern by lies, that you might be saved? So how can any man say to us, that we do not know love, when there is no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend? Dear children of God: Beware of them that come before you with the watered down version of the gospel; for they bring the love of deceit; because the gospel of Christ is water and fire. So unless the gospel is given whole, take it not. For the things that are in part shall be slain by the Sword of the LORD that sit in the hand of His Christ, that they all be cast into damnation: because you cannot enter into the sanctuary of God without the whole gospel of Jesus Christ. So let the blind that seek to see, see: and let the death that seek to hear, hear. And let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Isaiah 34:1-8: and let us Read and Hear: “COME near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it. For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcasses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. For it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion”. Beloved children of Israel: this is the year of our recompense for the controversy over Zion, which is the controversy of Greeks claiming to be Jews; and the land of Israel as the place of old. For the world shall surely know, that we, who are scattered about in America, and in the West Indies, and on the continent of Africa, are the true children of Israel; being pure in Hebrew blood. But those who call themselves Jews; and so-called Zionist; are as it is written in the gospel of St. John: “And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast” (St. John 12:20). These are those that worshipped with the Jews in the ancient of days: who later stole the heritage of Jews and claimed it as their own; that they create a nation of falsehood in alliance with the Great Whore. But the hour of restitution has come: so let us watch the woes that shall beset the nation of them that say they are Jews, but are not. For the sword of the Lord that proceed from my mouth, because my mouth is Christ, shall slice that nation in two, that, their houses and their streets become divided. And the blade from the sword of the Lord shall be given into the hand of the Palestinian: and he shall rise up and cause a great wound upon that synagogue of Satan. And by the sword of the Lord shall the inhabitants of that false nation flee to the land of the Great Whore for refuge; because hunger, and thirst, and pestilence, and the sword in the hand of Islam, shall pursue them night and day. Then shall you know that the hour of the fifth seal is at the door. Now to my brothers and sisters who are baptized in the knowledge of the truth: I leave you this Sabbath with these words that are not my own, but are the words that came directly from out of the mouth of our Lord Jesus Christ: “I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law” St. Luke 12:49-53. The time is at hand. And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD DARKNESS FEBRUARY 1, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the Light of the Lord: which has brought me from out of the death of darkness, to redeem me from out of the place where whores and perverts roam in comfort. Verily I say unto you: “The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined” (Isaiah 9:2). May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be wise to stay in the Light of His way. Beloved children of God: the saints of the European seed, and the African seed, and the Latino seed, and the Asian seed, and the Indian seed, and the Arab seed, and the Hebrew seed: I speak this sermon this Sabbath, not for your sake, but for the sake of those who are resurrected with a chance to be saved from the darkness of eternal death. For we who are partakers of this heavenly calling are resurrected to life by the Light of the Lord which is the eye of our body, because our body is Christ; that we be presented before men in his similitude; because we are joint-heirs according to the promise, and living examples of his holiness. Thus, we are set forth in our predestination to minister unto those who are blinded by the darkness belonging to the minions of Satan, that they might learn the truth, and step into the Light that is the true name of our Lord Jesus Christ. To them we preach: not only to the blind Jew, but to the blind Gentile as well. For the assembly of saints is both Jews and Gentiles: for we all are made into one body: that the believing Gentiles be joint-heirs of our everlasting salvation. For as twelve holy men are chosen of the aboriginal Hebrew seed, who are called to minister unto the children of Israel, that the twelve tribes of Israel are gathered; so is there also disciples of truth chosen from out of the Gentiles and called to minister unto the Gentiles, that they might also be a peculiar people, and a royal priesthood, in the customs and traditions of a Hebrew in Christ. For we know in the beginning, O men of Israel, having obtained mercy, and being the chosen people of God, that we were the only people in the eye of God: blessed to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Now, by reason of the New Testament, we are charged to fulfill the commandment of love thy neighbor: because the believing Gentile, who was once a stranger and a pilgrim, through the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ has inherited the commonwealth of Israel, to be joint-heirs with the children of Israel. So to the believing Gentiles, who are called into this holy place, to take their seat in the Church of God, I speak these words as they are so written: “WHEREFORE laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained” (I Peter 2:1-10). Thus, take hold of your newfound life, which is a baptism in the spirit of thanksgiving, that you be counted among the elect of God. For to the remnant is left the confusion of darkness: and as it is written: “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not” (St. John 1:5): so be it. But you shall not be confounded; because you believed on the true name of our Lord in the ancient of days, to be resurrected for the time at hand, which is the hour of the Second Advent. Now to the children of Israel that sit in darkness, not knowing that the black race in America is not of a Christianity heritage, but that of the original Jew; and to those who celebrate their Hebrew heritage without the name of Jesus Christ above every name: I say this: Come from out of the darkness that the unbelieving Gentile has set upon you, that you might see the Light, to learn the truth. For though I am an American citizen by flesh; and labeled as an Afro-American; I am a Jew by spirit and blood. And I shall not go back to Africa, but wait on my Lord: for my feet is already set upon his holy kingdom: because wherever the seed of Israel travel so travel the land of Israel. Therefore, take heed, and step out from the darkness that has been laid before your eyes, which has led you to believe that your Roots were told by Alex Haley: for it surely was not. For anything other than the pure seed of Abraham is a lie on our heritage: and anything other than a house of civilization is a lie on our place. So to the black men and women in this land called America, where the throne of Satan is, and the Presidents of darkness rule; hear me, I pray: for the souls that govern this law are the resurrected spirits that conspired against the prophet Daniel (Daniel 6:1-7); even the spirits of them to come as it is written: “So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision. Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright. And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be. The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are comt to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days. And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it” (Daniel 8:17-27). So if none understood the vision of Daniel, how say you understand the things at hand, or the things to come, and not know the simple things, such as knowing that Christmas and Easter are evil things? Even in knowing, many continue to celebrate, using their children as the excuse, when they are the guilty. Indeed, there be many among us that are not of us: because they only abide in some things. So though they might see the Light, are they not drawn back into darkness by reason of their friendship with the world? So what has become of their light, but darkness? Truly our Lord said it best: “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (St. Matthew 6:24): neither can you be a friend to world; because whosoever is a friend to the world is the enemy of God. Therefore, do not take one foot out of darkness and leave the other; because you cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven in part; because if you are guilty in one part you are guilty of all. For the eyes of the Lord, which see in secret, is upon you all: so no man can do anything in secret and not be seen by the Lord. Who then, have you deceived, but yourself? So to my flesh and blood, I say this: “That now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light” (Romans 13:11-12). For how can he that walk in darkness, know the right way? And how can he that do not believe on the true name of the Lord be not confounded by the Light that come from His true name? My brothers and sisters: There be some that say to me, We have learned much from you; yet they abide not as I abide. Thus, they do not know what they have learned: for if they had learned anything, they would know that He who has sent me is from On High. For from out of my mouth go His wisdom and the knowledge of His words, which I cannot know, neither understand, except the Spirit of the Holy One be in me. And if His Spirit is in you whole, as His Spirit is in me whole, then you know me, because I am a reflection of your soul. For it was acceptable unto the Lord at one time if we knew only in part: but now that perfect has come by reason of the Lamb’s book of life, that which is in part is done away. So take up the scepter of wisdom, that the darkness of this world whose path lead into the house of that strange woman whose spirit is known among men as Jezebel, and whose name is the Great Whore, be not your guide. For Satan, being the angel of Darkness, whose place was removed by the angel of Light, when God commanded the light to shine out of darkness, became filled with envy and jealousy on the first day of the Lord’s creation. And being made a serpent and cast out of heaven, to be set on the earth as a tree whose fruit bear the knowledge of good and evil, the angel of Darkness went forth to seduce Adam, that he might find his place in heaven again through the habitation of human flesh. But Adam sinned not; but by the weaker flesh the angel of Darkness was manifested as a woman through the seduction of Eve, who in turn seduced Adam, that both man and woman become sin, and be cast out into darkness, that darkness be served as the light even unto this day. But behold: for I am here: and the Lord has sent me even as the Lord, to bring light to the hidden things of darkness, and to the hidden mystery of the gospel. Therefore hear these words I pray, which I speak this day from the book of wisdom: “When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life” (Proverbs 2:10-19). Beloved: I pray for you all, that the darkness of this world do not overcome you. For we know that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against evil principalities, and against wicked powers, and against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. Thus, we must walk day and night in the armor of God, that we might receive the strength to overcome the evil and wickedness from the high places on this earth, which is the White House and the Vatican. For from out the Vatican shall come a Pope with the thick darkness of Christianity and the cunning craft of deceit: and from out of the White House shall stand a President speaking great things against the tabernacle of the Most High and waging war upon His saints. And with a fierce army of Gentiles, this Pope and President shall tread the saints under their feet for three and a half years. These are the souls of eternal darkness; and their father is the Great Liar; and their mother is the Great Whore. And their allegiance is to preserve America, where the throne of Satan is, and where the Woman of Babylon sit. So beware: for if any go unto that strange woman, whose house is death and path is hell, they shall not return again: because she is the bottomless pit. Now let us who seek to be delivered from out of the darkness of this world open our Holy Bibles to I John 1:1-10: and let us Read and Hear: “THAT which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father , and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. This then is the message which wee have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us”. So let us therefore be baptized with the baptism from heaven, which is the knowledge of the truth, which put to silence the ignorance of foolish men, that their darkness have no effect upon us. And let us not be found among them, that we be unequally joined together: for what fellowship do righteousness have with unrighteousness?: and what communion do light have with darkness? Beloved children of light: We are called from out of darkness, to be cleanse of all sin, that we sin not. For the time is at hand: thus set your offering for the visitation of the Lord as a body without sin. For in sin is darkness: and darkness cannot enter into the Light that is the everlasting life of Jesus Christ, by whom we have life if we sin not. So I pray for you are believing Gentiles, as I pray for my flesh and blood; that you be converted into the customs and traditions of Jesus Christ, which are those of a Jew in Christ. And I leave you all this Sabbath with these words from the porch of Solomon, which you know as this website, but is the only Church of God; saying as it is written in St. John 8:12: “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life”. Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE LOVE OF MONEY JANUARY 25, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well without the love of money. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in among us: and may He keep us all from the snare that is the love of money. Beloved children of God: We know that the love of money is the root of all evil (I Timothy 6:10): and that the gift of God cannot be purchased with money (Acts 8:20). What then is the value of money? Or what place is there for it in the kingdom of God? I tell you no lie: the riches of men are nothing in the eyes of God. So can a man be rich in money, yet be righteous still? Indeed: if a man is rich in money, but richer in the knowledge of the truth, then his riches in earth are not only for himself, but to be shared with all the needy among the saints. For a man that is rich in the knowledge of the truth is benevolent by nature: because charity is greater than faith. Thus, if any among us is rich in money, it is the gift of God, that he meet those who are poor with provisions for them. Indeed if a righteous man receive the wealth of money, he has received his wealth from God, to provide for those in need. Think not that the sharing of your wealth end with your immediate family: for the family of a saint is all the saints in the land. So share your wealth with all in need; for fear you be snared away by selfishness, and greed, and pride, whose end is death and hell. For many with righteous hearts have received the gift of money, but have been led away by the snare that comes from having money. Be not mistaken: For money is not the root of all evil; but the love of money is. Beloved: Money and all material things are belonging to the world; so though you have these things and receive these things as gifts from God, love them not; neither be a friend to them; because they are of the world. And the Lord give these things to you that you might prove yourself to be worthy of His blessing with the benevolence of your work. For we who are worthy to enter into the body of Christ without being vomited out, love not the world, neither the things of the world, neither are we a friend of the world. For we know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God: for is it not written: “know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4). And is it not written: “He that truseth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch” (Proverbs 11:28). Indeed we know that it is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven: so why would one seek to be rich in wealth other than that he might be able to provide for a brother and sister that is destitute of daily food and clothing. For all saints are not without need for the things of the body: but the Lord do not suffer them to be found begging in the streets: for they are blessed in their destitution; because God has chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith; and heirs of the world to come. So by the richness of their faith are they fed and clothed: because the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17). So, without seeking riches to provide for the needy, what profit is there with the world’s wealth? For we live by the Scriptures: and what say the Scriptures: “There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches” (Proverbs 13:7). And what say the Scriptures: “Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich” (Proverbs 28:6). Verily, the riches of the world cannot save a man. For it is written: “Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death” (Proverbs 11:4). And it is also written in the book of wisdom: “He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” (Proverbs 28:22). Brothers and Sisters of mine: The kingdom of God is at hand and that great and terrible day of the Lord is nigh. Be you therefore prepared: and store food and drink for the great tribulation to come. For when all the saints are brought into poverty, because no man shall be able to buy or sell except he that serve the beast, that we might prove ourselves to the Father of our trust in His word alone, that we fulfill the patience of saints, which shall be known on the earth as the days of the fifth seal; then shall the judgment of our Lord be set; and the reality of our testimony at hand. Then shall it be fulfilled as it is written in the book of the prophet Ezekiel: “All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water. They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads. They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity” (Ezekiel 7:17-19). But to us who keep the faith by considering the poor, because we do not love money: We shall be as it is written: “BLESSED is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness” (Psalms 41:1-3). For in the body of Jesus Christ, the rich and poor meet together, because the Most High is the maker of them all. So let us not have respect to persons; because such is a sin. But let us have respect of one another: for in Christ we are all the same. So I give this command by the authority of the Spirit that is invested in me, for my fellow ministers of Christ, that in their work as Disciples of Truth, they give this testimony for the rich in this world, saying as it is written: “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life” (I Timothy 6:17-19). Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to James 2:1-10: and let us Read and Hear: “MY brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect to persons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: Are ye not partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all”. Beloved: The love of money will bring one to betray their brother and their sister: and their mother and their father: and their son and their daughter: and their wife and their husband. The love of money led Judas to betray our Lord: as it shall lead many to betray us in the hour of the beast. The love of money is the policy that govern this world, which is policed by the Great Whore, whom the earth call America the Beautiful. But she is ugly within: for that which is outward is only an illusion, as the flesh of man’s skin is an illusion. For what is behind the flesh of a man but a skeleton? And is that not the reality of flesh? Beloved: Love not money, neither be a friend to it; because money is of the world. And of all the things I have spoken this Sabbath, this is the sum: “whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4). Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE HEBREW SERMON JANUARY 18, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the blood of a Hebrew. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in among us: and may He gather all the Hebrews of Christ according to the promise. To my beloved friend and apostle Ysmael: he who is called and worthy to lead the tribe of Levi: I salute you this Sabbath as I salute you and all the saints of your congregation each Sabbath in the wisdom and love of our God. To the beloved Hebrews that are scattered about: Where is the beginning of our seed? Indeed we are the seed of Adam: But of what country is our beginning? It is written in the fifth book of Moses, saying: “And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous” (Deuteronomy 26:5). So did we not begin as a nation in Egypt, only to return as a people to the land from which we came, which was a land flowing with milk and honey? So as an uprooted seed, we returned to the land from which we came, to receive the inheritance bestowed upon us by our heavenly Father, that we be known among the nations as the chosen people of the Most High God: that the eyes of the earth might behold how the Lord take the last and make it the first; and the least and make it the greatest. Indeed we have been blessed with an everlasting salvation: and to stand as the very elect among His elect. For Abram the Hebrew (Genesis 14:13), our first father, who made us the elect by the faithfulness of his ways: whom God Himself came down and blessed by the presence of Melchizedek, that the Hebrew seed be the elect of the Most High, was also made the father of many nations through the changing of his name to Abraham (Genesis 17:5), that his Hebrew seed become the very elect; and the remnant seed of the earth the elect. For if Abraham, being a Hebrew, is the father of many nations, then are those nations not part of a Hebrew seed? And if they are part of a Hebrew seed, then will they not be blessed as Israel is blessed? So the blessing that is now given unto the Gentiles was first prepared in the Old Testament under the blessing of Abraham by the Most High God: but the blessing was not fulfilled until the New Testament that came under the grace of Jesus Christ. Hence, Jesus did not begin a new faith; but opened the door to a house of prayer for all souls that sought to worship the Most High God. For in the beginning, which we know as the Old Testament: it is written: “And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed” (Joel 2:27). So whereas the LORD was only our God, He was preparing the door of His sanctuary to be opened unto the Gentiles; as it is written by the prophet Isaiah: “And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and the kings to the brightness of thy rising” (Isaiah 60:3). For we know that in old time the Gentiles were separated from us (Genesis 10:5); even in the beginning days of our patriarch Abraham. But we know that when our mother Sarah died, Abraham took a Gentile wife of the name Keturah (Genesis 25:1): a woman of the Canaanites, who bore him six sons, that Abraham become the father of many nations according to the promise. So whereas the LORD was only our God at one time, He is also the God of the Gentiles, because the Gentiles are of our blood. Beloved: Here is the secret of a mystery to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost: Each has descended upon the earth as a Spirit, and as an existence of flesh. And here is the secret to the mystery of their existence in flesh: The Father was seen in the body of the high priest Melchizedek, the King of Salem, who is without father, and mother, and descent; having neither beginning of days nor end of life (Hebrews 7:3). The Son was seen in the body of Jesus: who was made a high priest after the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 6:20). The Holy Ghost is seen in the body of one from among you: who is made a high priest after the order of Jesus Christ. These are the three pieces; and each body brings a piece of the Scriptures. The Spirit of the Father brought us the Old Testament: and the Spirit of the Son brought us the New Testament: and the Spirit of the Holy Ghost has brought us the Lamb’s book of life. These are the three Spirits that agree as one: and the vessel that housed each Spirit in its visitation is the flesh and blood of a Hebrew. So, how great then is the Hebrew seed? Hebrews and Hebrewess: you who have mistakenly separated themselves: dividing yourselves from Jews and Jewess, when we are the same: Let the ignorance of your understanding pass away, that a Hebrew be known as an Israelite and a Jew. For what was once divided by the ignorance and foolishness of men, has now been restored by the Spirit of Truth. For we who are true in Hebrew blood, are taken up by the author and finisher of our faith, who is the Lord Jesus Christ. And we are not discouraged by the contradiction against our testimony that comes from sinners: but are steadfast in our endurance that we be not weary and quit. For we are not alone in any of our steps: for the Holy One has given us his Spirit, which is the anointing of being filled with all knowledge, and to know all things. Verily, we, who are born of Hebrew blood, in the knowledge of our heritage, which in the beginning was Christ, are called in our anointing by him. And it is impossible for us to fall away: because we have tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost, as it is written. Yet, there are some among us, that though they have tasted the good word of the Lord, and the powers of the world to come, they shall fall away. For our Lord Jesus Christ so spoke, saying: “But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God” (St. Luke 9:27). These are them that are also written in St. Matthew 16:28, who shall be led into the hour of temptation, to be seduced by the snare of fleshly things, because doubt will overcome them. These are even them that will fall away when the devil is loosen after a thousand years in the Messianic Age. Pray not for them: for their curse cannot be removed: because they are forever of this world. Thus, let us know why Jesus said: “I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine” (St. John 17:9). My Hebrew brothers and sisters: Those among us that have chosen the world are not of us: for we are belonging to Christ: which has no part of this world. So let the doubters be not found among us: for what can a doubter bring into our house but doubt? And what shall become of a doubter, but one that sink (St. Matthew 14:29-31). And if one is sinking, will he not grab hold onto to us if we are near, that we might save him from death? And if we try to save him from death, will we not also sink with him, because he cannot be saved? Yea blood is thicker than water; but the soul is thicker than blood. So take heed to the testimony of our Lord: and let not foes be those of your own household: but align yourselves with the Hebrews in the knowledge of the truth: for a spiritual and social revolution in the true name of Jesus Christ is at hand. And if any are ashamed of our testimony, then also is he ashamed of our Lord: what then shall be his end? Indeed: the wavering that is many, shall become the death of them all. For if any be true in Christ, then they know that which we speak is undefiled. So what room is left for doubt? Surely we have heard that some false Christ and prophets shall rise, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. But it is not possible; because the elect take every word of the Scriptures with the words of Jesus Christ himself as the chief cornerstone: how then can they be misled? It is only when one take the words of another in the Scriptures over the words of Jesus Christ himself; or when one leave out a word of Christ testimony, that one might be deceived. But the elect are not confused; neither are they lead by their own understanding: nor is there any guile found in their mouth. For if a man stay in every word of Jesus Christ, how can he be mislead by the cunning tongue of Satan, whose words cannot stand up to the knowledge of the truth? Indeed he cannot be misled; because it is not possible. Beloved Hebrews in Christ: We know that we are the salt of the earth; and the light for all nations to walk. So let our light so shine as our Lord so spoke: and be not ashamed of the ridicule; and the scorn and revilement from men. For if we are to live in the glory of Christ, so must we also live in his suffering. And if any is ashamed of our testimony, then he is not worthy of our testimony. So let him be counted among the fools: and let him sink quickly into the pit: for fear he might snare a righteous heart with his spirit of doubt. For even as we are Hebrews, being just and faithful men; so are there also those that have come from out of us, but are not of us. These are them that say they are Hebrews, but are not: as they say they are Jews, but are not. Even are there some that sit in the truth, but have allowed the pride of life to lead them away; even envy and jealousy. I pray for the new hear: Let there be no jealousy or envy among any of the tribes: for even as Judah is at the head table, so also is Levi, and the other ten tribes. For we all are called to the anointed Hebrew seed; whose seed is Christ; the author of eternal salvation. Thus, if any man seek Christ, he cannot find him without the Hebrew customs and traditions of Christ, which were first brought to remembrance in these days of the renaissance by Prophet William Saunders Crowdy, who was like unto the prophet Ezekiel; even as the body of him that is written in Revelation 1:14-15. This man I do know, not by the teachings that he brought forth, but by the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. So let the seed of Ephraim remain in the darkness of their way: for who among them have not heard of the testimony at hand? So what excuse can there be for them? Indeed the days that were are again. For as it is written: “WHEN I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without” (Hosea 7:1): so is it. This is the seed of Ephraim: one that came from out of the Hebrews to give his children to the murderer (Hosea 9:13). Take heed: for it is written: and if it is written, so then is it true: “Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations” (Hosea 9:16-17). These are the Hebrews that oppose us: but they are not in any more days of the Hebrew seed: for their root is dried up and their whole seed is cast out; and the beloved fruit of their womb is given death. For whereas we were in the ancient of days, two nations and two kings: being the house of Ephraim and the house of Judah: being the kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Judah: We are no more: but are made into one house; and into one kingdom; which is the tallest of the seven candlesticks belonging to Christ. For not only are we made into one blood from which we came: so also are the converted Gentiles made into our blood from which they did not come, which is the pureness of our Lord. For what some among us took for granted and turned against, the Gentiles received in a joyous spirit, to come from out of the way of heathens, where some of us have entered into. So through the righteousness of the converted Gentiles, they have been made of Christ blood, that they be known in the body of Christ as a Hebrew in spirit, which is the nature of a Jew in Christ. But we who are Hebrews by our birthright, and faithful in the knowledge of the truth; by reason of Jacob our father, and David His servant, and Christ our Lord; are called into the oneness of the promise, which is the salt of the earth, which is a Hebrew in Christ by nature and birth. For we, being Hebrews in Christ, and holy brethren; partakers of the heavenly calling, which is the priesthood of our Lord; summon all Hebrews into the general assembly of saints, that we salute one another, both the Jews and the converted Gentiles. For if we be of Christ, and love not our brother, even our foreign brother, we are not of Christ, in spirit, neither in truth. Beloved Hebrews: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Hebrews 13:1-21: and let us Read and Hear: “LET brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen”. Beloved: I leave you in this knowledge of Hebrews 13:17: Do obey those who have rule over you, which are the twelve holy apostles that shall come unto you in the knowledge of the truth. For they are not sent to the Gentiles; but to gather the twelve tribes; and to sit as the judge of them: for they do watch over your soul because they must give account of your works in the day of judgment. And even when they are slain from the foundation of the world, they will sit upon their throne in the kingdom of heaven, to judge the twelve tribes of Israel that are given into their hand. But this thing is certain: No man is sent unto you as a holy apostle whose name has not been spoken from out of my mouth. And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD FOOLS JANUARY 11, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well out of the way of fools. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in among us: and may He keep us all away from the den of fools. Beloved children of God: We all were as it is written in Titus 3:3-5; being foolish and disobedient to the law of our Father; and deceived by the sons of men: serving the lusts of flesh and pleasures of the world: living in malice and envy with jealousy: being hateful towards one another and all things of righteousness. But by the mercy and love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we were saved, to be renewed in the Holy Ghost, that we be cleansed for the hour of the regeneration which is the predestination at hand. For we, being righteous spirits before men, are washed of our flesh and spirit with the water of redemption; because we accepted rebuke and did correction according to the voice of truth. So let us be gentle and meek to the ignorance of men; because we at one time were ignorant like them; even foolish as some. But if they hear us not in our voice of truth, then, let us admonish them in the love of a brother, that they might free themselves from the way of fools. But if they hear us not still, then, let them be counted among the den of fools, because they have made themselves fools. And be not drawn into a useless dialogue with them: for they seek such desperately: because their conceit is to hear their own words which are right in their own eyes. But when the ignorance of a man turn to foolishness, because he does not adhere to the voice of truth, we are wise to speak not into his ears. For we live by the Scriptures: and what say the Scriptures: “Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words” (Proverbs 23:9). And what say the Scriptures: “But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain” (Titus 3:9). Yea for sure, any that oppose us oppose the gospel of Christ; being a heretic; thus counted among the fools. For we live by the Scriptures: and what say the Scriptures: “A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself” (Titus 3:10-11). So who is the judge? Not us: but the truth that guide us: for such is righteous judgment. And did not Jesus Christ himself say, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (St. John 7:24)? I give you sound advice: Read the whole story and not part. Beloved children of truth: The children of men call us fools. If we are fools in the eyes of men, let us be fools for Christ sake. And if we are fools for Christ sake, then we are fools for the sake of truth; by which we cannot be fools except in the eye of fools. For it is fools that despise wisdom (Proverbs 1:7): not knowing that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and the instruction of wisdom. So how can a man learn the Lord without first fearing the Lord? I tell you no lie: There be fools that fear the Lord and fools that do not fear the Lord. The fools that fear the Lord are not made fools by their spirit, but by their flesh, because they are ignorant of the truth. These can be saved from the fate of a fool, if they overcome their pride and accept rebuke and do correction. The fools that do not fear the Lord are made fools by their spirit, which cannot learn the truth, because their spirit is without understanding. How important then is understanding? For a man can be wise; but he must also have understanding of his wisdom. For wisdom is indeed to fear the Lord: and understanding is to know why. So get wisdom, because it is the principal thing: but in getting wisdom, get also understanding, that you receive the gift of discernment. For a man need not only wisdom and knowledge, but understanding as well. For it is surely written: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10). And here is wisdom: “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 14:12). And here is wisdom: “The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going” (Proverbs 14:15). And for fear any man become conceited by his wisdom, we speak these words: “Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him” (Proverbs 26:12). Dearly beloved: Here is wisdom, and knowledge, and understanding: The gospel of Christ, which is every word that came directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ, is the perfect testimony. And on those words alone can a man stand in the knowledge of the truth. But unless a man take every word of Jesus Christ, he cannot stand in the knowledge of the truth, even if he has all the remaining Scriptures in his heart. For the knowledge of the truth cannot be received without every word of Jesus Christ; because Jesus Christ is the perfect man; thus only he can present a perfect testimony. For we are not made perfect by ourselves, but by Christ our Lord, because we preach the things that he taught us, according to the spirit and the letter of his word, which is the power of the Second Advent. For if any man know Jesus, how can he not know that Jesus has sent us, when we speak his every word? Brethren: If I give you three one dollar bills and tell you to add them up; and you leave out one or two before adding them up; you cannot stand in the truth. So is it also with men before Christ: for you cannot be in Christ without taking every word of Christ. The ignorant do not know the words of Christ: but the fools leave out words of Christ to deceive: because the folly of fools is deceit (Proverbs 14:8). Yea for sure, a fool is convinced that he is right and saved in his understanding: And there is nothing that can be said or done to change his mind. For it is written: “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes” (Proverbs 12:15). For as a dog return to his vomit, so do a fool return to his folly (Proverbs 26:11). If a man be ignorant, let him learn, that he might be saved. For even in our predestination, we were at one time ignorant, even foolish. But as we have been showed the light, so do we shine it on others, that they might receive the knowledge of life that is bestowed upon us, and upon every ear that hear the voice of truth. For we are sent in the perfect testimony, that no man be ignorant of the Lord. For upon this earth at this time there are three types of men: those who are resurrected to life; and those who are resurrected to death; and those who are resurrected with a chance to be saved from death. We who are resurrected to life are not sent to give our testimony before those who are resurrected to death: but before those who are resurrected with a chance to be saved from death. For in the world to come, which is the new earth, and the Messianic Age, there will only be a place for two types of men. And these two men are of the same Spirit: one is a Jew by nature and birth: and the other is a Jew by nature, which is a converted Gentile. Know therefore, that, the definition of a Gentile, is anyone not a Jew. So, if you were born a Gentile, you must be converted to the nature of a Jew in Christ: even as a Jew by birth must be converted to the nature of a Jew in Christ. But no man can be converted without the testimony of Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone: and without the Stone of Truth and the Seven Keys as his foundation. Beloved children of knowledge: Though I am called in the Spirit of Truth, and anointed by God Himself, to be a shepherd of His flock, I would be a fool to acknowledge that my brother or my sister could not admonish me. For though I am blessed with the knowledge of knowing as you are blessed with the knowledge of knowing through the unction we received from the Holy One, that we know all things (I John 2:20), and need not that any man teach us (I John 2:27), because the Spirit of Truth is our teacher, which abide in us, that even as we do not consciously know the truth, we know it when we hear it; because the same Spirit that is true in our brother and in our sister is also latent in us. So let not one of us be snared by the foolishness of pride, that we might think that one lower in rank cannot admonish us. For we live by the word of God: and what say the word of God: “And I myself also am persuaded of you, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another” (Romans 15:14). So in this world, and in the world to come, we are blessed to receive all knowledge, and to know all things, that we be able to admonish one another, that he who sit at the head table of our house be not proud in his seat. For in the kingdom of God, every man is a minister. Now I know there be some that have entered into the Church of God to admonish me for calling some fools: because it was spoken of our Lord, saying, “but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire” (St. Matthew 5:22). Indeed I testify that the words of no man can supersede the words of Jesus Christ himself. But before we set ourselves to admonish, let us not be as the fools who are hasten with their words; but let use our understanding of the knowledge that is given unto us through knowing the whole Word and not part. For our Lord Jesus Christ also said: “Ye fools and blind” (St. Matthew 23:17&19). So Jesus called men fools: and are we not to lead by his example? So if one read all of St. Matthew 5:22, he will find the understanding behind the words spoken. For it is written: “But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire”. Note the words “without a cause”. So if one be angry with his brother for a just cause, or call one a fool for a just reason; are they still in danger of judgment and hell fire? Nay: because if one is called a fool for a just reason, which is the truth, he has not departed from the footsteps of Christ. And if one is angry for a just reason, as Christ was angered in the temple for a just reason (St. Mark 11:15), then his anger cannot be sin. Verily: No man can be cast into hell for speaking the truth: And no man can commit sin under divine authority. This is the wisdom and knowledge that come by the way of understanding, that we who are born of righteousness be not counted among the fools who cannot perceive the wisdom that is taught by the Spirit of truth. Indeed the fools are counted among the wicked: and the wicked are sent to seduce the righteous; because he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked (Proverbs 29:27). Therefore know why the fools have entered into this holy place speaking against the Church of God: because the knowledge that we bring is the wisdom that they despise. Beloved: Who is a fool but he that does not fear the Lord? Who is a fool but he that takes the word of another over the word of Jesus Christ himself? Who is a fool but he that despises the instruction from the Spirit of truth? Waste no time among them: for time is at hand: and our time is given for those who seek the truth. For the revolution that comes from preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, is according to the spirit and the letter of his testimony, which is peace for some and the sword for others: for time is at hand. So let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. Matthew 10:16-36: and let us Read and Hear the things that pertain to the hour at hand, which are the days of the first; second; third; fourth; and fifth seals of the Lamb's book of life: “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household”. Beware: for time is at hand: and the mystery of the Second Advent is the loosening of the seven seals. Two seals have been loosened: and though they tarry in their fulfillment; wait for it, because it will surely come. So count not the days: for by the number of days can no man see. But be found standing among the righteous: for in that hour when Christ shall appear with his holy angels to cast final judgment upon the earth, there shall be only two types of men found: the prudent and the fools. The prudent shall be taken up to reign with Christ in the kingdom of God: but the fools shall be left for the fate of hell fire. And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD PRIDE JANUARY 4, 2003 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well without the pride of life. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all from the snare of pride. Beloved children of God: I pray for you always, that you fall not to the things which the Lord our God has commanded us not to do, or to be. For this thing called Pride is full of evil works: a man cannot do good things from it. For Jesus said: “That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man” (St. Mark 7:20-23). Let us therefore know the work behind pride: for it is counted among the evil things that defile a man. Dear children of the Most High: We who are called into the tender embrace of His bosom behold the knowledge that is given through the understanding of His Word which come by way of the Holy Ghost, which is the Spirit of Truth. And though we are the manifestation of God’s children, being upright and holy, pride is in us as an existence of flesh. But we who are born of righteousness, swallow our pride so it will not come out, for fear we defile ourselves, and fall short of our glory. For we know that with pride come contention, and shame, and destruction: but with humbleness is wisdom and honor. So if one be in error, and is rebuked by his brother, let him humble himself first, that his pride be not lifted up, and his ears become clogged due to the hastiness of his words that is delivered by his pride. For as it is written: “Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him” (Proverbs 29:20): so be it. For pride will lead one to do all works of evil: whether at the beginning or at the end: because pride is the snare that leads to high-mindedness, and the bourgeois way, and disobedience, and stubbornness, which is a haughty spirit that leads to hell. For pride is indeed a sinful emotion that seeks to be manifested as an evil work through the thoughts that influence one’s self as an existence of flesh: so as an existence of flesh we must overcome the things that influence the mind of flesh; which are the things of the world. For it is written: “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren” (Proverbs 6:16-19). Are all those things not derived from pride? Indeed: a proud look come from pride: and a lying tongue come from pride: and hands that shed innocent blood come from pride: and a heart that devise wicked imaginations come from pride: and feet that be swift in running to mischief come from pride: and a false witness that speak lies come from pride. For pride snared Cain to slay Abel: so pride is the origin of evil (Isaiah 14:12-15). So no man, nor woman, neither child, can be of pride and have a place in Christ: for the pride of life is belonging to the world: and the things of the world are given to death, with hell to follow. Therefore be as it is written: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” (I John 2:15-17). So I call unto you my friends: my brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ; that you who are little children, know that the days at hand is the last time; and that the Word which was spoken in the ancient of days is now. So let every one of us swallow our pride, that we humble ourselves to be as meek as a lamb, and accept the one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism of Jesus Christ: knowing pure religion is according to James 1:27: and the one Lord is according to St. Mark 12:29: and the one faith is according to St. Mark 11:22: and the one baptism is according to St. Matthew 20:22-23. Thus, let the pride of your denomination pass away, that you enter into the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ, which is not any manner of Christianity, but the reformed customs and traditions of a Jew in Christ. Be not as the many that are novice, who are lifted up with pride, that, they have fallen into the condemnation of the devil. For many have been snared by the pride of their understanding, that no man can correct them. And others are bishops and pastors, whose pride in their seats will not allow them to accept rebuke to do correction: for these are as it is written: “The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?” (Obadiah 3). But what say the Lord: “Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD” (Obadiah 4). So be not as servants but like unto masters: for it is written: “A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer” (Proverbs 29:19). Be therefore as our Lord so said: “Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you” (St. John 15:15). So if we are friends, then we are not of pride, but receive correction and rebuke from our brother in the spirit of love that it is given. For in the truth of God, we cannot be justified in diversity, because we are called to obedience of His commandments. How then can multiple denominations of faith be justified when there is only one Lord, one faith, and one baptism? Be not deceived by the proud tongue that seeks to justify their denomination from the truth: for they do use the snare of pride and love to deceive a righteous heart. But by the wisdom that is given unto us, we lean not into our own understanding, neither into the understanding of others, but according to the holy word with the testimony of Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. For what say the Scriptures concerning division in Christ: “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment” (I Corinthians 1:10). For the children of God, though diverse in flesh, and in language, are not diverse in the knowledge of the truth: because there is only one Truth. It is written: “Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal” (I Corinthians 12:4-7). So our diversity is not of the Spirit: for it is indeed written: “For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will” (I Corinthians 12:8-11). So we know that there is one Spirit: and that the Spirit is truth (I John 5:6). And we know that there are three that bear record in heaven; which is the Father, the Word (Christ), and the Holy Ghost; and that these three are one (I John 5:7). And we know that there are three that bear witness in earth; which is the spirit, and the water, and the blood; and that these three agree in one (I John 5:8). Now are these three that bear witness in the earth the witness of men, or of God (I John 5:9)? We know that the witness of God is greater: and that the witness of God is he that testify of His Son. And if the witness in earth is the spirit, and the water, and the blood; is the witness not of God by reason of the Spirit of truth; because Jesus Christ came by water and blood (I John 5:6)? Truly, it is the witness of God: so though they are three, they agree in one, as it is written in I John 5:8. Hence: There is no diversity in the knowledge of the truth: because the truth is not opinionated. Brothers and Sisters of mine: Men say that I am full of pride: and that I have exalted myself. But do I not swallow my pride when men call me delusional, and the leader of a cult, and even the name Corny? Yet I respond not in anger; but am silent to their words. For pride I am not: and exalted I have not. For my teacher is indeed the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, by whom I am sent to give instruction to the inhabitants of the earth, and to admonish according to the authority given unto me from the predestination of my calling, which is the anointed seed of an upright and holy Jew in Jesus Christ. For I Cornelius, have not risen before you out of my own volition; but from the Spirit of truth that lead me. And I seek not to convince any man of my calling: for those of God hear God’s word. Let the Voice of Truth that proceed from out of my mouth, be not called proud, neither arrogant: but the perfect testimony of Jesus Christ. For I am sent to bring back all things to remembrance: and to preach the gospel of Christ according to the spirit and the letter by which it was given from him: even to reveal the things that were not spoken by him when he was among our fathers in flesh. This labor I do for Christ sake is not the work of a proud man; but with the authority of the Son of man; on whose name all prophets are called. For when I use Scriptures for reproof, and for correction, and for instruction, in the doctrine of Jesus Christ; to admonish the lost; I am not set in pride, nor arrogance; but in the knowledge of the truth. For we who are saints of Christ are fellow-heirs of Christ: thus righteous in our judgment: and worthy to admonish. So when a voice opposes us before the Church of God; it is not a voice of opinion; but a voice in the spirit of error; because there is no opinion to the truth. So are we not justified in our judgment to do as it is written: “And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother” (II Thessalonians 3:14-15). Indeed there be many not worthy to walk in those words: because they are not sound in the knowledge of the truth: thus without righteous judgment. Who then can they admonish? For no man can be admonished without righteous judgment: and no man can receive righteous judgment without the Spirit of Truth: and no man can receive the Spirit of Truth without the predestination. So be not surprised when the Voice of Truth fall upon deaf ears: and when the written Word fall upon blind eyes: for these are the souls of them that cannot receive the kingdom of God; because they have made a covenant with death and an agreement with hell. And even as their spirit might seem humble: and their sincerity genuine: and their love true: they are spirits of confusion: lost souls to eternal darkness. For who is he that confess not that Jesus is the only Christ? And who is he that worship in spirit, but not in truth? Beloved: I Cornelius, am lifted up from ON HIGH in the spirit of the apostle John, to deliver these words from his hand for the blessed children of today. So let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to I John 2:18-29: and let us Read and Hear: “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him”. So we, who are little children, because we are born again, are called to fulfill our purpose of a righteous generation. But out from among us go a lost generation, because they did not continue with us as it is written in the word. But even as they were among us, they are not of us, because they are not manifested in the truth. For as it is written: “There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men” (Proverbs 30:11-14): this is the manifestation of them that went out from us, but were not of us. These are the souls of them that speak as it is written in Isaiah 28:15, saying: “We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves”. These are those among us, who deny Jesus as the only Christ: and who confess the name of Christ without the truth of his name. These are those that plot against us, neither eating nor sleeping, that they might discredit our name, and take away our life. And they make spiritual lies their refuge: and hide themselves under the falsehood of the Great Whore: that the fierce persecution that shall come from the hand of the beast in the hour of the fifth seal (Revelation 13:6-7) fall not upon them. But in their pride of men, and their pride of life, they cannot be protected from the vengeance of Christ, which shall come as it is written in II Thessalonians 1:7-10. Beloved children born of righteousness: We are called from out of every flesh, and tongue, and nation, as little children to receive the kingdom of God. We are called from out of the various denominations of faith to be in the one faith of Jesus Christ. Let not pride be the snare that keeps you away from the only Church of God, which are the seven churches of Christ that agree in one. For there is no race of men omitted; neither any language denied. Thus let the seed of the Asian accept reproof and do correction: and let the seed of the Latino accept reproof and do correction: and let the seed of the Indian accept reproof and do correction: and let the seed of the African accept reproof and do correction: and let the seed of the European accept reproof and do correction: and let the seed of the Arab accept reproof and do correction: and let the seed of the Hebrew accept reproof and do correction. For what is it that keeps a man from learning the knowledge of the truth but his pride? I pray for you all: bury your pride. For on these two Scriptures do I rest my sermon this Sabbath: “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate” (Proverbs 8:13). “Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken” (Jeremiah 13:15). And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE ELECT LADY DECEMBER 28, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well among the children of the elect lady, whose revealed mystery is the new Jerusalem. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all in the love of the elect lady. Beloved brothers and sisters of Christ: All that enter into this holy place are not children of the elect lady: for some are blind idiots; because they walk without wisdom: thus they cannot understand to know the love of God; only the curse of foolishness. For is it not a curse, when the things made simple cannot be understood? Are these not the souls taken by the strange woman, because they have sought after her understanding, that they might feel justified in their sinful ways? For how can they claim to be children of the elect lady, when there is no sin in her children? So is the preaching of God and the prayers in God’s name that they do in the sight of men not also sin? Indeed, to take the name of the Lord without the truth of His name is to break the third commandment, because the name of the Lord has been taken in vain. And it is written that the Lord God Almighty will not hold him guiltless that take His name in vain (Exodus 20:7). So I speak these words for the sake of the new ear, that he might not be counted among them, but hear the voice of truth, and make correction. For those who seek a better understanding and find it not, are those without understanding. Who then are they children of? Not of the elect lady, nor of wisdom; but of damnation: for these are those that are without. For it is surely written: “And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life” (I John 5:20). So who then are those without understanding, when the Son of God has given us understanding, that we may know him that is true? Are they not as our Lord Jesus Christ so said: “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them” (St. Mark 4:11-12). Hear the words that Jesus Christ himself spoke; saying: They see and not perceive and hear and not understand; lest (for fear) at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. So some are condemned to damnation already. These are the children of men, whose mother is that strange woman, that pretends to be the elect lady, but is Satan in disguise; teaching good-hearted people the love of Christ that they might not learn the wisdom of God. For she knows that if a man take love without wisdom, he will become a blind soul. Indeed she seeks to make a man blind, that he might willfully give his soul to her. Yea for sure: Many are cursed into eternal damnation because of her: but for others there is still time for redemption. Be that you be born again from the spiritual womb of wisdom and understanding, that you may be conceived from the womb of the new Jerusalem, which shall descend from out of heaven as the bride of Christ, and the mother of us all. Brothers and Sisters of mine: If one love God, then one will commit themselves to be free of sin. How then can any man be free of sin if he continually sleeps with a woman that is not his wife? And if he continues daily in the sin of fornication, or adultery, or drunkenness, or any of the six things that the Lord hate (Proverbs 6:16-19), how then can he preach to us about the love of God? Surely, one cannot fully know the love of God until they come from out of sin to be born again as a child of the elect lady. For if I continue in sin, yet preach the love of God, am I not deceiving myself to continue in sin? And if we say we can find salvation by following the love of God, yet continue in sin, is the blood of Christ not spilled in vain? Indeed all unrighteousness is sin: and all sin is against the doctrine of Christ. So I say this: Follow the love of God in the knowledge of the truth and you shall depart from sin, that you be not counted among them that are written in St. Matthew 7:22-23. For they were indeed confident that they knew the Lord, and boasted of His love for them: But Christ called us from out of sin, that he might know us: because how can he that know no sin know us if we are in sin? So out of God’s mercy, He delivered unto us His only begotten Son, that he become sin for us, that by His grace we be forgiven of our sins. This was done by the sacrificing of Christ blood, which is shed again for the sake of the regeneration and the fulfilling of prophecy. So let us be mindful of our blessings, that we may walk upright and holy in the image of Him that created us. For our Father is the Lord God Almighty; even Christ Jesus. And our Mother is the Holy City of Jerusalem: the Bride of the Lamb: the Elect Lady: even her Elect Sister who is Zion: the Bride of God Himself. Dear children of the elect lady, who is the mother of us all (Galatians 4:26): let our rebellious brothers and sisters be not counted among us: for if we keep company with evil are we not made evil? God forbid. I pray for you all: and greet all the children of the elect lady with a holy kiss in the love of the truth. For we are not called to separate: but to gather in the knowledge of the truth. So to those who make the sacrifice of fools: and those who are rash of mouth without understanding: I speak these words of Ecclesiastes in the Spirit upon which it was written: “KEEP thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon the earth: therefore let thy words be few. For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words” (Ecclesiastes 5:1-3). Now let us, the children of the elect lady, and the children of her elect sister, open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to II John 1-13: and let us Read,/b> and Hear: “THE elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen”. I reveal unto you this Sabbath another mystery of the Scriptures, that you might know the mystery of the elect lady; even the mystery of her elect sister. For the elect lady is the new Jerusalem, from out of whose womb is conceived the righteous seed of the European, and the Asian, and the Indian, and the Latino, and the African, and the Arab, for the Messianic Age. These are not bastards, because the elect lady, who is the holy city of the new Jerusalem, is married to Christ (Revelation 21:9-10): and the converted Gentiles who are her children are redeemed from out of her womb which is also the mother of Israel. And her elect sister is Zion, from out of whose womb is conceived the children of Israel, who are the children of Zion, as it is written in the book of Isaiah 66:7-8: Even as it is written in the book of Revelation 12:1-5 and 14:1-4. And the restored Israel of the Messianic Age is not a nation of bastards: for Zion is married to God Himself in that day; even to Christ our Lord. For the hidden mystery of Hosea 2:16, is that Zion will call God her Husband. So we who are the children of Zion, even the children of Jerusalem, are the children of God and His Christ. For there are two holy cities (Isaiah 64:10): and two rods of iron (Revelation 2:18-27 and Revelation 12:1-5): and two olive trees (Zechariah 4:3-14): and two covenants (Galatians 4:22-25). For as there is indeed two manner of men before God, who are Jews and Gentiles: In the Messianic Age there shall be also be two manner of men, which are Jews by nature (converted Gentiles), and Jews by nature and birth (the aboriginal Hebrew seed). The Jews by nature shall be led by the righteous seed of the Arab, whose seed is the church of Thyatira, which is one of the seven churches of Christ. And by reason of the blessing given unto Ishmael, and the promise thereof, being one of the two anointed olive trees, the seed of the Arab shall receive a rod of iron to rule over the children of the elect lady (converted Gentiles) in the Messianic Age. The Jews by nature and birth, who are the children of Zion, even the children of Jerusalem, shall be given a rod of iron to rule the whole earth. For the seed of Ishmael is given birth by reason of a Hebrew father: as are all nations that are saved. Now beloved children of the Lord: Is the doctrine of Christ with sin? So sin not: but rid yourselves from sin, that, you might overcome the lust of the world, and the lust of the things that are in the world. Of those things, it is commanded that you love not. For we are called to walk in the truth, which are the commandments of God, that we may learn how to love one another; even the enemy that is before us. For in that Spirit is found the children of the elect lady and the children of her elect sister, who grace, mercy, and peace, be unto, from the Most High God and the Holy One of Israel. For the elect lady is the mother of us all: and the elect sister is the mother of wisdom, that we may have the understanding that is needed to learn the mystery of the scriptures. For without, a man will have eyes that cannot see though he can see; and ears that cannot hear though he can hear. So what then can he be, but the accursed? God forbid we are counted among that number: for we are born of wisdom to have understanding through the perseverance of our mind. For many have said unto me, I had to read your sermon many times before I was able to get full understanding. Is that not one that is true in spirit, to know that he must seek truth to find truth? Is that not one of the predestination, to overcome the hard saying, by pondering in the knowledge of the truth? Yea for sure: the true saints shine in the light while the pretenders glow in the dark. For the true servants of God seek the knowledge of the truth: and for the sake of truth do we avoid sin. So sin not: for whosoever is born of God sin not. Dearly beloved: For truth sake do I preach unto you each Sabbath: Even for the sake of those that are lost in the wilderness. Yet they ignore the compass that I give them, which will lead them from out of the way of Death: and from out of the clutches of Hell. To their foolishness, they fight against my house, which is the house of God. Yea, I hear them even in their silence, calling our congregation a cult, and our house a place of weirdo’s. So be it then that I recite these words to them from the Scriptures that they say they put their trust in; but believe not when you use those same Scriptures for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. For these are the souls that are full of pride: not willing to admit the error of their ways: even as they hold the Scriptures so dear to their heart. Who are these people? Are they not as it is written of them? So let their ears be opened only if for this short time, that they might hear these words, that it pierce their hearts. For I speak from the book of Isaiah, saying: “Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD” (Isaiah 65:13-25). And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL DECEMBER 21, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the freedom from the snare that is the spirit of Jezebel. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all far from the way of that evil woman, who appear as many things; even as objects of desire. Brethren: I speak to you this Sabbath earnestly, that you be well aware of that strange woman, whose spirit is that of Jezebel. For we know that she was a foreign woman, married to Ahab, the Arab king of Israel (I Kings 16:30-31). And we know that Jezebel in her evil spirit killed the prophets of the Lord (I Kings 18:4): and established her own prophets that ate of her table (I Kings 18:19) and served Baal (Satan). And we know that Ahab himself did evil in the sight of the Lord that was greater than all that were before him (I Kings 16:30): but even in his strength he was as weak as a soaked piece of bread to Jezebel, that he was a servant to her; and that her spirit was his guide (I Kings 21:25). For she sat as a Queen, saying I have no king, and be no widow. But I do not speak this Sabbath on the Jezebel that we know as the wife of Ahab; but on the spirit of that same woman, which lives among many this day. For she is an evil spirit that is set free to possess women, that they be liars and vindictive, and deceivers of the soul. The spirit of Jezebel is a woman that seeks superiority over man. She is not of flesh only; but of things as well; even the objects men call the Statue of Liberty and Justice: even the phrase men use to signify the end, saying, “That’s all she wrote”. She is even the things of drugs and alcohol that bring addiction: even the things that bring desire and want. She is a land, and a city, even a nation. She is the birth of Canaanites: the soul of un-repenting Gentiles. She is a whore; whose end is the bitterness of wormwood. For her feet leads to death: and her steps take hold on hell. She is the spirit of many things that seek to snare a righteous heart into the way of wickedness and evil. But in all these things that she do appear as, she is still a woman sent to seduce a man according to his weakness. She is the spirit of Jezebel: whose flesh the dogs ate by the wall of her oppressing city Jezreel. Beware of this strange woman, whose spirit walk among us this day: for she is not the mother of wisdom though she might appear: but the mother of deceit and abominations. Beware of her my brethren: for the lust of a woman is every man’s weakness. And through the lust of her beauty is she given power to seduce a righteous heart to bow down to serve falsehood, and to be an adulterer, and a fornicator, and a drunkard, and a drug addict, and blind to the light of truth. Indeed, I say unto you all, Beware of the strange woman: for she is not the mother of wisdom; neither is she a daughter of God; but a whore full of filth and pollution. Brethren of mine: these words I hereby speak for the sake of the new ear among us. I Cornelius, called from out of the tribe of Judah to be a shepherd among the saints; come not with the instruction from a strange woman, but with the instruction from the mother of wisdom and understanding. I come with the salvation of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. I come not as a stranger, but as one known among the saints of Christ. I come not to take away anything from out of the Holy Bible, neither to add anything into it: but to reveal the Lamb’s book of life, which is not written of names only; but of things to come; and judgment as well. For it is indeed written: “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works” (Revelation 20:12). So according to the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the book of life contains the things that the dead are judged, as well as the names that are saved. And that there be no wondering of who I am, I am he that is sent with the Lamb’s book of life to gather the names of which many cannot been seen on the earth; and to reveal the design of the Messianic Age. So think not that you have entered into another of the many spiritual websites on the world-wide-web: but know that you have entered into the realm of the Lamb’s book of life from the foundation of the world: which is the holy habitation of the Lord on earth. For in this place is found the only Church of God, from out of, come the seven churches of Christ. These are the nations to be saved for the Messianic Age. And they are the righteous seed of the Asian, and the African, and the Indian, and the Latino, and the European, and the Arab, and the Jew. And they shall all be of one pure language. And they shall all call on the name of the one Lord; whose name is the Lord God of Israel; the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Yea for sure: Those that say they are Jews, but do lie, shall perish quickly if they repent not, and bow down before the feet of the true Jews, who the earth call Negroes: but who the root of Jezebel’s spirit call “niggers”. Yea for sure: the hour of our vengeance is nigh, whose vengeance come by the hand of our God. So let us walk peacefully in the love that is Christ; and with the wisdom and understanding of a saint. For that strange woman draweth near unto us, that she might take away the truth from a righteous heart. Beware I say, unto my friends, even as I speak to the new ear: for the spirit of Jezebel teach the love of Christ, that she might deceive one from knowing the wisdom of God. Now let every one of us that partake of this heavenly calling, open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Proverbs 5:1-13: and let us Read and Hear: “MY son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!” So in the knowledge of those words, let us Read and Hear the word of Proverbs 4:1-27: “HEAR, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom: I have led thee in right paths. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. For thy sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil”. Brethren: Be not uncomfortable with correction, that you despise instruction. For whom the Lord love, the Lord correct. I give you the instruction from the mother of wisdom, that you forsake her not; but keep her, and love her, that she preserve you in the knowledge of the truth. But beware: for there is a strange woman with a flattering tongue, who cannot sleep until righteous hearts have fallen by the lust of her beauty. This thing I say then, as it is written in the book of Proverbs: “My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee: when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life” (Proverbs 6:20-26). Beware my brothers: for she is hunting men like unto us; that we might fall to the seduction of her ways. For if there be none left standing in the righteousness of the way, who would be left preaching the word of God but hypocrites, who are the servants of her. But I tell you no lie: Some among us shall fall to the lust of her beauty; either by fornication, or by eating the bread of her wickedness, or by drinking the wine of her violence. Verily I say unto you, Some among us shall fall to adultery. But as it is written: “But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul” (Proverbs 6:32): so be it. Yea for sure: As it is spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ, saying: “Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works” (Revelation 2:20-23): so shall it be. Thus be happy with your reproof, that you behold the mercy of your instruction, that you repent from the way of your understanding, and be led unto the living waters of truth. For I give you sound advice in the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ, that you might know these words are not my own, but of that which is already written. So be it then, that, even as I am anointed by the Lord Jesus Christ himself, to bring that which is new, my foundation is built on the things that are already written, that you might know the Lord God Himself has sent me. But those who are His jewels do know me: for I am like unto them: in spirit and in truth. But do try every spirit as it is written, to know whether it is of God. But if a man does not know God in the truth of His name, how then can he try a spirit? Surely he will be deceived if he listen to the spirit of Jezebel, who call herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce good men to the wickedness of her ways, that she be called America the Beautiful; even Mary the mother of God. For her beginning is Isis: even Eve. And the gift of her season is a day called Easter, which is the pagan celebration of an orgy. Even the name of Christmas is written on her: and Halloween: and Sunday as the Sabbath: for her seduction of righteous hearts is through many means. But if one is of the predestination, then the voice of truth shall open their eyes to the darkness of their ways, that they accept instruction, and do correction. So waste not: for if some hear us not, they cannot hear us, neither can they see us; because they are cursed with deafness and blindness to the way of salvation. Thus, new ear, we pray, that you follow not into the footsteps of that evil spirit of Jezebel, which is the mother of Canaanites. For as it is written: “Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts” (Zechariah 14:21): so shall it be. Thus, I leave you this Sabbath with these words from the book of Zephaniah: “WOE to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God. Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law” (Zephaniah 3:1-4). Truly, that is the spirit of Jezebel: whose spirit is found among the Jews; as it is among the Gentiles. For many great men have fallen by her: even Prophet William Saunders Crowdy. For in the year of 1900 the spirit of Jezebel rose before the prophet Crowdy as Sister Elder Malinda D. Morris and seduced him to ordain her as Chief Evangelist: and to crown her as Queen Morris at the Passover of 1906. This thing did so happen as I have so spoken: And the spirit of Jezebel inhabited Israel again: because the days at hand are a repeat of the past. And if any man should say, It is not forbidden for a woman to be counted as a minister, hear a man err. For if it were lawful for a woman to be counted as a minister, then at least one of the twelve Disciples of Christ would have been a woman. Moreover, It is written: “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church” (I Corinthians 14:34-35). Now to continue in the history of the church that is known as the Church of God and Saints of Christ, which is the place from which I came: In the year of 1908, the prophet Crowdy died in the home of Queen Morris, and the spirit of Jezebel stood alone in power over one part of Israel, because of the split. For the prophet Crowdy indeed brought back the ancient of days: because the kingdom of Israel was divided again. Now I know I have disturbed many in the tabernacles built by the prophet Crowdy because of these words. But if my brother has bad breath and know it not, though I might embarrass him, should I not tell him? And should he not receive the truth from me with appreciation, because I show I care? Surely those who say nothing, allow him to remain in darkness. Here is wisdom: The truth should be spoken at all times. But let no man think that I have revealed this truth to diminish the work of the prophet Crowdy: for Samson fell by the hand of Delilah (the spirit of Jezebel), but his labor for the Lord was not diminished. Neither is the work of Prophet William Saunders Crowdy: for he was sent in the spirit of Ezekiel: and to fulfill the prophecy of Revelation 1:13-15. And if it were not for him, the tabernacles of Israel would not be re-established. For our Lord Jesus Christ himself did so lift up William Saunders Crowdy from out of a Baptist church to bring back the ancient of days, that we as former slaves might know from which we came. How great then is this man, that he brought a Stone of Truth and the knowledge of the Seven Keys? He is not destroyed; but alive; and without a blemish; because of the mercy of God. Moreover, Is this book in my right hand, which is the Lamb’s book of life, sent down from the throne of our Christ, not dedicated to Prophet William Saunders Crowdy? Yea for sure, the Lamb’s book of life is dedicated to the works of Prophet William Saunders Crowdy, that his name be recorded among all the prophets in heaven. Beloved: Many of great men have fallen by the spirit of Jezebel: beginning with Adam (Genesis 3:6): and even Solomon (I Kings 11:1-10). But out of His mercy, the Lord redeemed them both, as He has and shall redeem all that are righteous from their iniquity. For even in our calling, which is spiritual, we are weak in flesh. This thing must be, that we might learn to overcome the world, which are the things that satisfy and anger the flesh. So in Jesus name do we pray, that, the Lord our God protect us all from the strange woman, which is the spirit of Jezebel, who know the weakness of every man. But through Christ which strengthen us, that we fulfill our purpose, which is to be living examples of flesh without sin, we are free from the snare of that strange woman, that we fall not. For unto every man called of God is given a purpose: surely he cannot fall before he has fulfilled that purpose. So to the apostle Ysmael, and to those who are called to be among the twelve: we shall not fall to the snare of the strange woman: but she shall seek to discredit our name; and to take away our lives. But nothing can stop us from being without a spot or wrinkle: for we are set On High in the arms of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ until the end. For we are set in a special place, that has been reserved for us, for the time at hand. Let us pray for our brothers and sisters, that the Lord our God bless them with freedom from the snare of that evil woman, that they do not go near the door of her house, neither within view of her eyelids. For the power of her seduction shall increase mightily, which is the hour that is known on the earth as the hour of temptation. But as it is written in the general epistle of James: “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him” (James 1:12): so shall it be. But for us who are Jews by nature and birth, are these not the words of our Lord Jesus Christ to the church in Philadelphia, which is the house of Israel: “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth” (Revelation 3:10). So we, O children of Israel, are blessed in that time with freedom from the snare of that evil woman. But I pray for you now, that, you be not taken away by her, before that time. Now brothers and sisters of mine: there are many who are angry with me, even us, that they have turned from the magnificent name of Jesus Christ, because they do not love him in the truth of his name. These are the servants taken by the snare of that evil woman, that they make war against Jerusalem in alliance with the un-repenting Gentiles. But as it is written: “And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth” (Zechariah 14:12): so shall it be. And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE PROMISE LAND DECEMBER 14, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well with the inheritance of the Promise Land. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed to witness the glory of the Messianic Age. Beloved saints of Christ from out of the seven churches of Christ: You who are called from out of the righteous seed of the European, and the Asian, and the Indian, and the Latino, and the African, and the Arab, and the Jew: Let your candlestick be not removed: for Christianity, and Buddhism, and Hinduism, and all faiths save a Jew in Christ will find no place in the Promise Land but the judgment of falsehood. For there is only one Lord, one faith, and one baptism: and neither come without the nature of a Jew in Christ. Thus, let every seed of man that seek the Lord, seek Him in the only place He can be found, which is in spirit and in truth. For in the Promise Land, there shall be no controversy over the faith of the Lord: for He is, and always will be, the God of Israel. How then can any man serve God without walking in the Light of Israel, which are the footsteps of His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, the Holy One of Israel? Brothers and Sisters of this heavenly calling: I have no time to waste on convincing men to partake of this calling: for all that I have been given from the Father, I have given to men. And it has not disappeared before them; but has been left as a matter of record, that even the new eye might see and the new ear might hear. For I know that in the eyes of most and in the hearts of many, I am a delusional man: but so must it be that prophecy be fulfilled. For I must indeed suffer many things and be rejected of this generation; as it has so been prophesied by the Lord Jesus Christ. So why should I be discouraged by the voice of those that speak against me, and ignore me, and laugh at me? I am not: but am happy in their revilement and in their scorn: because such is my motivation to continue preaching. For as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man, who is set at nothing, to suffer many things, and be rejected even of his own flesh and blood. For prophecy cannot be changed; but must be fulfilled. I come not to change, but to fulfill. For the word of the Lord is delivered unto me as a messenger, that I speak it unto you in the written book of remembrance, that the Spirit of truth be revealed; saying, Time is at hand: for the kingdom of God do come: and the fulfilling of the Promise is nigh. For we wait not on the end of this world, but for the beginning of the world to come. For such is the world of the Holy Ghost, which is a Promise Land for all who are baptized in the Lord Jesus Christ. And if any are baptized in the Lord Jesus Christ, then they are true to the things we preach. For we are not born of men, but of God: and in the flesh of a European, and an Asian, and a Latino, and an Indian, and an African, and an Arab, and a Jew. For the Holy Ghost is delivered unto the flesh of all men, that no seed of man be omitted from the promise of eternal life. For we are all called into the body of Christ, to walk as Christ, whose footsteps are the customs and traditions of an upright and holy Jew. So to the beloved children of Israel whose seed I am: Yea for sure on our name is all men called. Let no misunderstanding take place: for we are the first-fruits of God and the Lamb: as it is written in Revelation 14:1-4: even as it is written in the fifth book of Moses, saying: “AND it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein; That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there” (Deuteronomy 26:1-2). Beloved people of Israel: Is it not common knowledge, that the 144,000 that are saved are 12,000 from each of the twelve tribes of Israel? And is it not common knowledge that the tribe of Ephraim and Dan are cast out: and that the tribe of Levi and Joseph has replaced them? And is it not common knowledge that the number which no man can number are former Gentiles that are now saved in the commonwealth of Israel to hold a candlestick of Christ, because they are baptized in the nature of a righteous Jew? Yea if we have common knowledge, then we have common sense to be of the common faith, that we may know the common salvation. He that has an ear, let him hear the knowledge of the truth. For are these not the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, saying, “The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord” (St. Mark 12:29)? And are these not the words of the Lord Jesus Christ from his seat upon the throne in the kingdom of heaven, saying, “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee” (Revelation 3:9)? Yea for sure the Lord Jesus Christ has spoken our name: saying, Salvation is of the Jews. And he has exalted us according to his testimony, that we be known among men as the salt of the earth. For he whose eyes are as a flame of fire shall lead us into the Promise Land, where brotherly love shall abound in the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord. And we shall open up our gates to the stranger, that he be a stranger no more, but a friend. And we shall dwell upon the good land with men of all flesh without sin. But think not that endogamy is not the law: for the nations are separated in the Promise Land according to the word of God as it is written in Acts 17:26; even in Deuteronomy 32:8, saying, “When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel”. So know that which was before shall be again; but in the fullness of the Promise, which is the Messianic Age, where all flesh is blessed in the name of the Lord. O beloved children of Israel, on whose name all nations are saved: Let us set ourselves apart even as we are one among the seven churches. For we are blessed with a higher calling: and in a greater habitation: because we are the first among equals. And let no man be jealous, neither any envy: For have these words in the fifth book of Moses been taken away: “Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey. This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice: And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments; And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken” (Deuteronomy 26:15-19)? Have those words grown old and vanished away as the old covenant has grown old and vanished away? Let us search the New Testament for the answer: for was it not said by our Lord Jesus Christ, that, salvation is of the Jews (St. John 4:22)? And is it not written in the book of Revelation that the 144,000, which are the children of Israel, have the name of their Father written in their foreheads: and sung a new song on Mount Zion which no man could learn but them: and that they are the first-fruits unto God and the Lamb (Revelation 14:1-4)? Let the question be answered and the unbelievers removed: for time is at hand: and the Promise Land do come. And let no man be mistaken: for the holy city is not segregated: but is open unto all nations that bring glory and honor into it. But there can be none that hold the key to that holy city of Jerusalem, which shall descend from out of heaven, but he that is a Jew by nature and birth. Beloved children of the Most High: I come not to diminish your candlestick, but to show you the rod of iron that govern all nations in the Promise Land to come. It sits in the hand of the manchild, who is the seed of Israel. Yea, if any man follow Jesus Christ, he follow the Holy One of Israel. If any church be of Christ, it is a church that keep the customs and traditions of a Jew in Christ. Let no man misunderstand the way of the Promise Land: for in the Messianic Age to come, every nation that dwells upon the earth will be the habitation of Jews by nature in the customs and traditions of Christ. Indeed, every nation that dwells upon the earth will be of the one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism, that is the Holy One of Israel. Even the nation of Islam, which is given a rod of iron through the blessing of Ishmael, shall be under the rod of iron that is Israel. And if Islam should raise his rod against Israel, the Lord shall destroy the seed of Islam forever. For Islam is indeed blessed with a prophet, and a holy nation of its own, to be twelve of the twenty and four elders that are round about the throne of God, that they be twelve tribes as Israel is twelve tribes in the Promise Land. But let Islam be not deceived, neither tempted; because Israel is above all men and nations that are upon the earth; in this world, and in the world to come. For though all are made into the one blood of Jesus Christ, that the Gentiles be of the same body, and of the same church, to inherit the blessings of the Holy Ghost: let us not forget that there is a first among equals. For as Christ is the first among many sons of God; so is Israel the first among all nations under God. And if any man be of Christ, then he is also of the Holy One of Israel, who has glorified him, and sanctified him in the knowledge of the truth. For has not the prophecy of Isaiah been fulfilled: saying, “Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee” (Isaiah 55:5)? Yea for sure: Nations of heathens have run unto us, because of the Lord our God, and because of the Holy One of Israel the Lord Jesus Christ. But in their manner of worship to God they have sought to replace our name: and to blasphemy our God: because of the Great Whore that guide their thoughts. These are the souls of them that are resurrected from the ancient of days, when Satan herself went about to deceive the world in the name of the Lord: first, by impersonating the Jews; then by indoctrinating Christianity. Even the nation of Islam has been deceived by the cunningness of Jezebel, to denounce the name of our Christ. For the prophet Mohammed did not come without Christ: because no prophet of God came come without Christ. Neither is Mohammed the last prophet of God: so speak it not: for such is to say that the Holy Bible a lie. Verily, verily, I say this unto you all: If any man speak against the Holy Bible, he has not known God, neither can he learn of God. Thus, seek the Lord while He may be found: for He has come down in His mercy, to cleanse your thoughts, and renew your mind, with the book of remembrance, which is the book of life, that you might no longer be blind, and be as ignorant as dumb dogs; But be new creatures in Christ; bearing the wisdom and love of Christ in the holiness of his body. For the Light of Israel shall lead all that follow into the Promise Land of the Lord; not like the land that was given in part to our fathers; but that which is given whole in the fullness of Christ, and in the perfection of his holiness. For the Son of Righteousness was called to be a light for the Gentiles, that the righteous among them may join us as joint-heirs of the Promise Land. For we all are called into the Promise Land: because in the House of the Lord are many mansions, which are set for the righteous seed of the European, and the Asian, and the Indian, and the African, and the Latino, and the Arab, and the Jew. But let there be no doubt among men: For the men of Israel are the first among men; and above all nations in the Promise Land to come. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Deuteronomy 28:1-14: and let us Read and Hear the words that the Almighty God spoke through the mouth of His servant Moses to the people of Israel: “AND it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them”. Has this promise been fulfilled, that it shall not be again? Are these not the words of the prophet Isaiah to the children of Israel after the days of Joshua: “Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off” (Isaiah 55:13)? So be it then, that the name of the Lord is on us, O children of Israel, as an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off: because Israel is saved in the Lord God Almighty with an everlasting salvation (Isaiah 45:17). Those are not my words, but the words of the prophet Isaiah, who prophesied also of our Lord Jesus Christ. So unto you do I speak O children of Israel, whose honor has been long awaited, but now is. Receive ye therefore the crown of life, which is the crown of honor and glory in the knowledge of the truth. Gather yourselves together into the one place of the Lord, which is set on high, that those who were Gentiles but are now Jews by nature, to be fellow-heirs of the Promise Land, may see you in all your glory, to abide in your way, which are the customs and traditions of a Hebrew in Christ. And as it is written: “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands” (Isaiah 55:6-12): so let it be. For the hour come, and now is, for the world to know those that say they are Jews, are not, but do lie, and blasphemy the name of our God in their falsehood. For these are the people in the decayed land of old, calling themselves Jews, and Israel their state; but are liars and thieves; even the synagogues of Satan. I say unto them, Repent, and bow down to the true seed of Israel. For we are lifted up from out of the jaws of the unknown, that we may obtain the honor and glory that is due us because of the mercy of our God, who has forgiven us. Not us only; but the Gentiles as well; that we all might inherit the earth according to the habitation of saints. So unto all who are called to be saints of Christ: Incline your ear and hear, that your soul be saved: “FOR, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse” (Malachi 4:1-6). Beloved children of the Most High: The righteous seed of the European, and the Arab, and the Latino, and the Indian, and the African, and the Asian, and the Jew: the Promise Land in the Messianic Age is for you all. Every one of you shall be counted worthy to enter into the holy city whose streets are paved with gold; and which has no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it, because of the light that is the glory of God and the Lamb. Be that every one of you continue your seed in the righteousness of the only begotten Son: for fear the Father come and smite thee with a curse that your seed be removed forever. For the Promise Land is given not to be taken away from the righteous: Let the wicked and the unrighteous be taken away: For we seek to dwell forever in the paradise on earth which is the Promise Land of our Lord. And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. May the wisdom of the Lord be with you always. Amen. amp;nbsp; DISCUSSION BOARD THE MERCY OF GOD DECEMBER 7, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well by reason of God’s mercy. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed in the tenderness of His mercy that endures forever. Beloved people of God: Let every one of us pray for the mercy of our God, that we be redeemed from our sins and kept from the appearance of falling. For the Lord has bestowed His mercy among the righteous, that they might fall seven times, yet appear without falling. How great then is the mercy of the Lord our God, to save us from the conviction of sin, and from the coat of its shame? For if not for His mercy, then every man that walks in the way of righteous man would fail, and fall into shame. But for righteousness sake the Lord has blessed us with His mercy through the love of His Christ, that, we be kept from falling to fulfill His work as loyal servants as we follow in the footsteps of His only begotten Son, that we may appear as him, in the glory that is God. For Christ our Lord was sent as an existence of flesh by reason of God’s mercy, that we who were sinners, and unable to reach the glory of God, be redeemed, to be righteous, that we may walk in the glory of God as an existence of flesh by following in the footsteps of His only begotten Son. Yea, even as we might miss a step, the Lord is merciful unto us, to keep us from falling. O how great is the mercy of the Lord our God? He who has not turned His back to us, but has remembered us, and forgiven us, that we might cry the tears of His salvation. Bless it be the name of the Lord our God: the Rock of Israel: the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is His name: for His mercy is everlasting upon those that fear Him. So let us give praise unto the Lord our God, in the words of His loyal servant David: “MAKE a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations” (Psalm 100:1-5). O serve the Lord all ye people of the earth, that the Lord may count you among His saints in the hour of His judgment: that the mercy of God be upon you all as a sign of the Lamb’s blood. For we are sinners, called to repentance, that we might be saved in the knowledge of the truth. How great is the mercy of God O people of Israel? To bestow His mercy upon us, even as our fathers in the horror of their ignorance put the blood of Christ on them and their children. Let us serve the Lord with gladness, and with thanksgiving, giving praise and worship always in the truth of His name, that we may always remember the mercy of God, which has sustained us for the hour at hand. Serve the Lord while you have the time; because in the wisdom of His word must His love and mercy depart from the earth, that the judgment of Christ be fulfilled. Beloved brothers and sisters: We know that we all have sinned and come short of God’s glory: But through the mercy of God which come by the grace of Jesus Christ, we are made anew, that, that which began as sin become righteous. Yea for sure: the end justifies the means if the end is righteous. For we began as sinners; yet, we are now righteous, because of the Spirit of redemption, which is the mercy of God. How great is God’s love for us that He has bestowed His mercy upon us as an everlasting gift? Is His mercy not upon the seed of Israel? Is His mercy not upon them that fear him? Is it not written in the gospel of St. Luke 1:49-55: “For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever”. So let a man know that the mercy of God come through the blood of a Hebrew in Christ, which is the wisdom to fear the Lord to know the love of the Lord. For no man can know the Lord and not fear Him: for the whole duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Thus, be not as the unwise, which speak in the name of God’s love without the knowledge of God. For to love God is to fear God: because wisdom is greater than love. Dear children of the Most High: Was it not the mercy of God, that sent His only begotten Son to be slain from the foundation of the world, for the sake of our sins? Indeed: Righteousness became sin for our sake, that we might become righteous. Yea for sure: The end justifies the means if the end is righteous. For he who knew no sin took on our sins, that those who knew no righteousness might learn to love righteousness. So when a sinner turns righteous, no matter by what means, the means are justified, because the end result is righteousness. I know this is a hard saying for some: but the end justifies the means if the end is righteous. For it is written, that our Lord Jesus Christ came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance (St. Matthew 9:13). And here is wisdom: It is written; “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (II Corinthians 5:21). So he that knew no sin was made sin for us, that we who knew sin might be made the righteousness of God in him who knew no sin. And here is wisdom: It is written; “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all” (Romans 11:26-32). Hence, let us know that the end justifies the means if the end is righteous. Then shall you understand the mystery of God’s mercy. Dear saints: The tears of joy that come from pain is knowing the mercy of God. Until a man cry the tears that come from seeing the mercy of God upon him, a man has not known salvation; neither felt the love of God. For shedding the tears that come from receiving the mercy of God is the end result of trusting in God; and God’s love for you. Indeed saints: In the time of trouble and distress, my tears, even those that cannot be seen, is my food, because my belly is consumed with grief. So I pray unto you O heavenly Father, as the Shepherd you have made me before the earth: giving honor to your loyal servant David, and to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For in the words from the Psalm of David do I pray for the mercy of Israel, and for the mercy of all inhabitants of the earth who seek to worship God with a sincere heart; saying: “Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved” (Psalm 80:3-19). Amen. Beloved keepers of the torch that is truth: As we go before our enemies, who slander our name, and prepare a privy net for us, and take counsel against us to devised a manner to take away our life: let us trust in the Lord and never be ashamed. For in the mercy and truth of the Lord, we shall not be shut up into the hand of our enemies, even as they might hold a firm grip on us. But we shall be delivered speedily: and our feet shall be set in a large room where the Lord’s table is, that we may feast in the Lord’s Passover, and partake of the holy communion. Let us put our trust in the Lord, that He be our strength in our weakness, to pull us from out of the net that they have laid privy for us, that we appear before men unscathed; that our enemies might know the Lord is with us; and that those who seek to know the Lord might learn of Him from us. For the light of the Lord’s mercy has shined on us, that men might see a reflection of themselves: And that those without God might learn to love God, in the spirit and truth that we preach. For we are summoned to be living examples of sinners turned righteous: even righteous in sin because of the grace and mercy of God. For if a righteous man fall into sin: God is merciful to wipe his slate clean, that he be presented faultless. Brethren: I know some of you might not understand the meaning of the righteous in sin: but if you look unto yourselves: you will understand that the end justifies the means if the end is righteous. For who among you began as an existence of flesh without sin? Every one of us began as an existence of flesh in sin, that we become righteous men as an existence of flesh. So are we not then redeemed souls, because of the predestination, sent to live in sinful flesh, that we might teach others how to overcome the nature of sinful flesh? Yea for sure, we are righteous souls in the flesh of sinners that we might teach sinners the way to righteousness. And in our preaching of the gospel, if we should fall into the hand of sin, because of our existence as sinful flesh, are we not justified by the mercy of God that is showed unto us, in delivering us from the hand of sin? For is it not written: “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Romans 11:29). So how can one called in the Spirit of Truth and with the gift of eternal life be judged as a sinner, even in sinful flesh, that his gift and calling be taken away? For our Lord Christ Jesus was sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, yet his gift and calling was not taken away. Is that not the mercy of God manifested in flesh? Indeed I speak in a mystery, because in a mystery must these things be told. So to he who have understanding, let him understand the things I preach: Of which some are the things that Jesus Christ could not reveal to his disciples, because they could not bear them at that time. Even now, many cannot bear the whole truth to all things concerning the gospel. Nevertheless, now is the fulfilling of Christ prophecy: whose calling we are: and whose mercy is from God. And as it is written: “for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth” (Psalm 96:13): so shall it be: and who shall be able to stand? Beloved servants of the Lord: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to II Corinthians 4:1-18: and let us Read and Hear: “THEREFORE seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: I whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; Knowing that he which raise up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal”. Are those words not powerful enough to stand alone? Yea for sure: Wisdom is better than strength (Ecclesiastes 9:16): even better than weapons of war (Ecclesiastes 9:18). So get wisdom: for without the mercy of God cannot be found. And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE FAMILY NOVEMBER 30, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the family of the Lord. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He bless all the families of the earth that worship His Name in spirit and in truth. Beloved: The family unit extend from relatives to all individuals of the righteous Spirit: because the love that is care and concern in one family is care and concern for all families: and the unity and support in one family is the unity and support for all families. For it is the law of the land in the Messianic Age, to love your neighbor as yourself. For there can be no love in the land unless there is love for all in the land. Now when a man takes a wife, the man has formed his own individual family unit: and his wife and offspring take precedence. The survival and future of a family tree is the growth and development of its branches, which are the children. For what one grows from, one will grow as: and what one develops from, one will develop as. Therefore, one’s spiritual development as an existence of flesh in the truth of God, which is the maturity of Adulthood, provides the knowledge of Parenthood, which is the wisdom and strength to raise a child in the love and righteousness of Christ spirit. The mother of the child or children is the primary individual in childrearing; because the mother will spend the bulk of her day with the child or children; because it is the duty of the father to provide for the family while the mother educate and discipline the child or children while the father is away at work. But when the father return from his employment; his responsibility is to support and continue the process of discipline, guidance, and education for the children. The process of discipline is enforcing the law of the house and the land: the process of guidance is teaching the Holy Bible and the Lamb’s book of life: and the process of education is instructing the utilization of common sense and the understanding of common things. There is an African proverb: “It takes a village to raise a child”: therefore let all people in the city provide discipline, and guidance, and education, to all children in the city; because the growth in one family is the growth of all families; and the success of one family is the success of all families: because a family in its truest definition is a united nation under the laws and commandments of God and His Christ. Beloved house of Israel: In your seed are all families of the earth blessed. Let your light be the guidance of all family trees that are saved for the Messianic Age. For whereas men were grafted into the tree of life to be saved; they are saved for the Messianic Age to be a tree of their own in the truth and love of Jesus Christ, that they may grow branches of righteousness to please the Lord in the morning, and at noon, and at night. For parents, which are the beginning of a family tree, are the caretakers of the Lord’s crop, which are the children born unto them. And it is their duty to instill the spirit and truth of God into their children, that, they develop as an existence of flesh in the righteousness of the Lord. And if a stubborn and rebellious child to the laws of the house should rise up, that child should be chastened with the strap of his or her parents. For as it is written: “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him” (Proverbs 22:15): so is it. And if a child should continue to be stubborn and rebellious, to forsake the law of the land in the Messianic Age, then the parents should be the first hand to put that child to death; because the child has forsaken the Fifth Commandment, which is to honor your mother and your father that your days may be long upon the land, which the Lord God Almighty has given. And the parents should not pity that child, nor hold any sorrow for the lost of seed, neither any shame among the people in the land: because the Lord has put them to a test, that they might prove themselves to be worthy caretakers of the Lord’s crop. For if there be a bad seed among the crop, then it will only bring a bad harvest: so cast out that which is a bad seed, that it might not contaminate the good crop. For as it is written in the fifth book of Moses: “If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear” (Deuteronomy 21:18-21): so must it be: for the wages of sin in the Messianic Age is death. Let no man think he can go about his days in the Messianic Age to each his own. For if sinners are allowed to prevail over righteousness in the world to come: so must it also be destroyed as this world shall be destroyed. Beloved people of the Lord: the seed of the Asian, and the Arab, and the European, and the Indian, and the African, and the Latino, and the Jew: You all have been made into one blood to dwell upon the face of the earth, and to enter into the boundary of your habitation, which is your allotted land in the Messianic Age. For the seed of every nation in the Messianic Age is given a golden candlestick, which is the blessing of the land that is given unto them, that the families therein be blessed to enter into the new Jerusalem, that they may behold all the glory of God. For we are saved by reason of our righteousness: and we shall be preserved by reason of our trust. Let every family be full of love for one another: from the youngest to the eldest: and from the weakest to the strongest. Let every family be of support for one another: in the good times and in the trouble times. Let the joy and suffering of one family member be the joy and suffering of all family members. For a family is not divided at any time: but grows stronger in the time of trouble. Beloved families of the earth: Let us open our Holy Bibles to Ephesians 3:14-21: and let Read and Hear: “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen”. DISCUSSION BOARD MARRIAGE NOVEMBER 23, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the marriage that is honorable in all. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed with the undefiled bed of marriage. For as it is written: “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge” (Hebrews 13:4): so is it. Thus, it is better to marry than to burn in hell: for coition outside of marriage is an abomination. Beloved assembly of this website: We who are ministering spirits sent forth to minister unto you who are the heirs of salvation, the grace and truth of our Lord, deliver these words this Sabbath on the righteous marriage between a man and woman. So give an ear, that, you might hear, the knowledge of a heavenly marriage, and be free of fornication. Beloved: The relationship between a man and woman under the realm of marriage is that of two spiritual individuals living together as the existence of one flesh; therefore the joy and pain of one is the joy and pain of the other; because they are one flesh though two individuals. The power of true love enables one to feel the presence and thoughts of their mate from a distance; even from one end of the earth to the other; because their love is spiritual, which stays inside their mate to be with them wherever they might go. But let us understand that living together as one flesh does not mean that each individual must share all things in common: because a marriage is not becoming one individual, but maintaining your own individuality to coincide with another in the harmony of companionship and affection. Therefore, one’s likes and dislikes might differ from their mate; but the things that bring joy and solace must be found in each other. Now we know that the trials and tribulations that exist in the world also exist in a marriage, which bring stress and anxiety to the individuals because of their existence in flesh. And though they might be strong in spirit; nothing can precede what the flesh will feel. And because nothing can precede what the flesh will feel, the thoughts and emotions from stress and anxiety will beset them. How one might find the solace to relieve their stress and anxiety may vary: but the manner in which it is done must be shared between mates: if not, the need of mental affection, which is solace, will be sought outside the marriage. Once solace is sought outside the marriage, the temptation of committing adultery will increase sevenfold, and an act of abomination will inevitably be committed. Let us therefore understand the importance of mental affection, which is the communication between mates; understanding between mates; and the trust that allows the freedom of space between mates. The manner in which solace is needed may vary because of individuality: some may need space from their mate to find solace because of their individuality, which might demand their need to be alone in prayer and thoughts. It is the trust and honesty in the marriage that allow the freedom of space between mates. But if one should blemish the trust and honesty in the marriage, then the marriage might not recover its splendor, because the trust and honesty between mates will always be skeptical. Individual space in a marriage is extremely important; because humanization dictate the need for change and growth away from your mate. But let us understand that space between mates is not necessarily spending a day or night from each other, but time and distance inside and outside the home. Since this is based on one’s individuality, some might not feel the need for space from their mate; but they should allow their mate the freedom if needed. The freedom of individual space is a vital tool for an enduring and happy marriage, because it eliminates the fault of possessiveness. Possessiveness is a fault in flesh, and a weakness of flesh, and a blemish as an existence of flesh. So one must always keep themselves above the things of flesh, which seek to destroy the things of Spirit. But in allowing your mate the freedom of space: let us understand that all experiences away from the presence of one’s mate should be shared in the marriage: because there should be no secrets between mates. Here is wisdom: It is trust and honesty that allow one’s mate the freedom of individual space; and it is the maturity of one’s self that overcome the thoughts of insecurity and jealousy, which brings on possessiveness, which is the work of the devil, because it is a selfish love. Now the cornerstone of a marriage is the love of God; but the foundation of a marriage is the love between the two individuals joined together as one. But let us be aware and realize that matrimonial love is often mistaken for other things: such as loneliness, gratitude, and fleshly desire; which are the things of flesh that bring confusion to the mind. Hence, understand why we preach to live not by flesh, but by the spirit of Christ. For only the spirit of Christ can prevent the thoughts of flesh from dictating your actions: and only the spirit of Christ can separate a man from a beast. Therefore, the knowledge of one’s self, which is one’s spiritual development as an existence of flesh, which is the baptism of Christ, is a vital need: because without such, love is only a blind emotion, as are all things in the world. Let us understand as children of God that there are two levels of love: one is to love; the other is to be in love: the knowledge of self is able to discern between the two levels. To love someone is to have care and concern; such as the love for a neighbor. But to be in love is to feel the need to spend the rest of your life as an existence of flesh with that person. Only when you are in love should you consider marriage: because marriage is being in love with the soul of a person and not their flesh. Here is wisdom: If one’s mate become paralyze or amputated, true love will not depart; because true love is for your mate’s inner self, which is content and not form; soul and not flesh. One must for that reason then choose a mate wisely: because in the Messianic Age it is unlawful for a man to divorce his wife except for fornication. So before you propose for marriage; and before you accept a proposal: ask yourself, Will I be in love with my mate if they become paralyzed, or amputated, or disfigured? And if you can answer, Yes, with a sincere heart; then make that proposal; and accept that proposal: because the love is genuine. For a righteous marriage is not built on the passion of coition but the passion of love for one’s inner self: because such is spirit and not flesh. For we who are the children of God, even as an existence of flesh, we live by the Spirit and not by the flesh. Here is wisdom: If you cannot be happy in a marriage without the passion of coition, then you will never have a happy marriage. In the kingdom of God, a husband or wife cannot be replaced because you have lost interest, or because you have lost your desire, or because of boredom. A wife and a husband is everlasting; till death do you apart. So be wise in your decision of whom you marry: for if a man take a wife for her beauty, then he is a fool. But if a man take a wife for her values, then he is wise: because a soul mate is known by their values (spirit) and not by their flesh. I pray that all men and women marry their soul mate, which do exist, and is a reflection of one’s inner self. Thus, know yourself and you shall recognize your soul mate when he or she shall appear. Be not deceived by the physical appearance, which is the desire of flesh: because desire is led by the flesh: and the flesh is blind to the soul. So develop one’s self, and you will see with the third eye, which is the spiritual mind. For what is seen in a person, will also be seen of the person, to those who see with the eyes of reality. Now if God has joined together a man and a woman, then they are mates of the soul. And happy will they eternally be: even without the passion of coition. Now let me not be misunderstood: for the passion of coition is a good thing in a marriage. But a righteous man and woman are not led by the pleasures of flesh; neither do they hold anything of the flesh above the things of Spirit. But even soul mates can have different interest in things. Some mates might have everything in common. Some might have enough things in common. But all soul mates have the love and knowledge of God in common. Indeed my brothers and sisters: If the one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism, that we preach, is not the same among mates, then the Lord has not joined them together. But if they are converted to the knowledge of God, which is the Spirit of His Truth, then the Lord has joined them together: and blessed are they unto the end. Here is wisdom: You must like and love your mate: and your mate should be your best friend; because soul mates are friends before they are lovers. So do not make the mistake of loving your mate, but not liking your mate: because you cannot obtain matrimonial love without liking your mate. So be wise and look at all the weaknesses of a potential mate: and if you like them in their weakness, then you will love them in their strength. Here is wisdom: The secret to an enduring and happy marriage is the process of mates falling in love over and over again. Mates must therefore overcome the things that lead to boredom and complacency through awareness and the freedom of individual space. Absence will always make the heart grow fonder: and the fear of God will prevail over temptation. But a consistent hug and kiss will prevent mates from taking things for granted. So do not let a day pass without saying, I love you. And do not let a night pass without an embrace and a kiss. For not to do such would be to take the love of your mate for granted, which will raise and strengthen the thoughts that bring the doubt of not loving them, which will create a negative impact on your marriage: because when the mind is left to wonder, actions which already speak louder than words, will speak even louder. Hence, let us be aware of the things that can bring negativity to a positive thing, that we guard ourselves against them: for prevention is greater than reconciliation. Indeed there will be disagreements between mates: even an occasional raising of the voice: But in being Christ-like, which is walking in the perfection of righteousness, we have set ourselves on guard of the things that bring negative thoughts and vibes into the holiness of our marriage. So as one becomes renewed in Christ, so must mates also become renewed in their marriage. And as one pray for an increase in faith, so must mates also pray for an increase in their love. For it is indeed a challenge to see a 25th wedding anniversary: and a crown of true love to see a 50th. Here is wisdom: Mental affection, which is the heart of communication, is more important than physical affection, which is the passion of flesh. Let the mental affection between mates dissolve the mood swings of individuals and be the heart of the marriage: because listening and understanding is a necessity for an individual that is expressing themselves in the sincerity of their heart. One need not agree to understand: and one need not believe to listen. But if the words be written and the voice make sense, then only a fool would not take heed. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Ephesians 5:22-33: and let us Read and Hear: “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband”. Here is wisdom: Every existence of flesh is an individual; and for every individual there is a soul mate. The development as an existence of flesh in the knowledge of God rewards a man and a woman with the knowledge of self, which is the realization of others, and the understanding of life. Let every existence of flesh mature into the spirituality of Christ and they will learn the meaning of love: and how to love their mate, and their neighbor, even their enemy. For love shall conquer all things: chiefly the wisdom of love that is the fear of God. For the fear of God is the wisdom that surpass knowledge, because it is the love of Christ. It is written: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7). Yea for sure: If a man find wisdom, he shall obtain understanding of all things that are revealed to him. Then shall he know the love of Christ which pass knowledge: and the peace of God which pass all understanding. Brethren: a good woman is a wise woman: therefore a wise husband is needed. Let yourself then be counted worthy, that you develop as an existence of flesh into the knowledge and wisdom of God that is bestowed upon His loyal servants: For how can any man receive a soul mate from God when he is not worthy? Likewise: how can any woman receive a soul mate from God when she is not worthy? Get wisdom as an existence of flesh, and the spirit of Christ will guide you in all things. For how can any marriage be righteous without the wisdom that is the love of Christ? Now I leave you this Sabbath with these words: Let them that are married without the one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism, that is Jesus Christ, be converted. And let those that are to be married, be of the one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism, that is Jesus Christ. For without Christ in spirit and in truth, there is no marriage that is joined together by God. And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD THE SERMON FROM JERUSALEM NOVEMBER 16, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the land that is known as America, but is Israel. I am well in the city that is known as the District of Columbia, but is Jerusalem. I am well in this land of milk and honey, which be the rebirth of Canaan land, and the house of bondage, because the truth has set me free. May the Lord God of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He gather the scattered tribes and the fellow citizens into the glory of His kingdom. Beloved servants of God: I speak for your ears only: for time is at hand. And if there be a new ear among you, let him ear, or let him depart. For even as I come in the simplicity of Christ, I am also with hard understanding; because the testimony I bring is indeed esoteric. For on the seed of Abraham are all families of the earth blessed: and on the seed of Israel are all nations of the earth saved. Let no man think anything different: for there is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism: and not one of them can be found without the salvation of a Jew in Christ. And let no man think that he is omitted because he is not a Jew by birth: for the Jew by birth is not saved; only the Jew by nature, which is the believing Gentile also. Beloved saints of Christ: I speak to you: You who are the righteous seed of the European, and the Asian, and the Arab, and the African, and the Indian, and the Spanish, and the Hebrew: The ignorance of men grow greater each day as they drink from the cup that is of the devil’s table, which serves as the illusion of God’s. I have revealed unto them the knowledge of the truth, yet they allow their stupidity to dictate their actions. They have become a horror show of foolishness, as they speak against this testimony, which is greater than the prophets, because it is the last will and testament of Christ. So I speak to a select few, which are few, yet many over all the earth: beginning in Jerusalem, which is unknown to those without the kingdom of God. Thus I speak: and let my brothers and sisters hear: for I am given to them. Behold O house of Israel: for we are not given to a spoiled land. Do we not know that the Lord our God knew that some tribes would not drive out the Canaanites as He had commanded, but would put the Canaanites to tribute? Do we not know that our God already know what we will do before we do it? So our fathers did not receive the Promised Land as it shall be: because they did not obey the word of God from the beginning: even Joshua, who lead the victories of our fathers in the land of Canaan, did not obey the command of God, but had a softness of heart, as did many of the tribes. Moreover, it is written, that, Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, The Lord shall come with ten thousands of his saints (Jude 14). This is the prophecy of Deuteronomy 33:2: even Revelation 19:11-14. Hence, if Enoch, being the seventh from Adam, prophesied the coming of Christ, then the New Testament was foretold even before the Old was written. Know therefore that a mystery has been revealed to you this day: for if Joshua had driven out the nations when he came into the land of Canaan, then no place would have been set for the second. But because our fathers transgressed the Lord’s covenant: It is written: “And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice; I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died: That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua” (Judges 2:20-23). Since the Canaanites were not driven from out of the land: the Promised Land was only received in part: and the land became spoiled. Such is why it is written by the prophet Isaiah: “Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off” (Isaiah 33:17). That land is the Promise Land to come: where Christ our king will reign forever: because the Promised Land that was given unto our fathers was given only in part: because the word of our God was not obeyed in the beginning as Joshua and the children of Israel were commanded. That is the revealing of another mystery. For the land men know as the Promised Land, which is the land of old, was given in part, because our fathers obeyed in part. But the Lord God knew these things would be done: because if they had not been done, then the prophecy of Christ coming could not have been fulfilled. But in the manifestation of Christ, whom we knew as Jesus, there were new things declared; even a new land to be planted upon. For the prophet Isaiah, who prophesied of Christ, wrote: “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old” (Isaiah 43:18). It is also written in II Chronicles: “Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations” (II Chronicles 7:20). The mystery behind those words is that the children of Israel would receive a new covenant: in a new land: because history had to repeat itself after the crucifixion of Christ. For such was the renewing of all things: even the ancient of days. So we were planted in the renewed land of Canaan, to re-live the Babylonian captivity with an increase in the days of suffering, that we might learn to love our God, and be partakers of His holiness in peace. For the sword is taken out of our hand unlike in the days of Joshua, that we might walk in the peace of God, and wait on the vengeance that come by the sword of our Christ. So we wait with the patience of saints, in a land flowing with milk and honey, known as the land of America: but is the land of Canaan because of the heathen seed: and the land of Israel because of our seed. For whereas our fathers were men of war: we are made men of peace, that our Christ be a man of war and peace for us. Now brethren alike: From out of Jerusalem do I speak this Sabbath, as I speak every Sabbath. Not from the Jerusalem of old; neither from the heavenly Jerusalem to come; but from the city known spiritually as Jerusalem, which was when our fathers came into the land of Canaan with the sword of Israel in the ancient of days. For do we not know that Jerusalem is the birth and nativity of the land of Canaan (Ezekiel 16:3)? And if there be one among us that did not know, let him know now, that he might understand the time at hand. For the seed of the Canaanites has been renewed in the land known on the earth as America, where the seed of Israel await the coming of the Lord, that the Lord make haste of the things our fathers did not. So shall it be also, that, the city of Jerusalem be smitten by the sword of the Lord; and be set on fire with His indignation; because its holiness which come by our presence shall be tread under the foot of the Gentiles that rule this land. This is the seed that was, and is, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha: even Sodom and Egypt is the District of Columbia. I reveal this mystery to the children of wisdom, that they may see the world as it is. For as it is so written: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord” (St. Luke 13:34-35): SO SHALL IT BE. Beloved children of God: I beseech no one to believe my testimony. Let the unbelievers call me what they may. Let them believe as they do. For I do not seek their company, neither do I seek their understanding. For if they are wise in the sight of men, then let me be a fool. For I whether be a fool in Christ, than an idiot in man. For I too in my youth were like many of them: But in the predestination of my spirit, I was called from out of the shadows of death, to live in the glory of truth. I was called from out among the lost souls to be restored in my reservation, which the Lord had reserved for me, which is the firstborn of seven thousand faithful men. And let no man think that I have exalted myself: for if I am exalted, the truth has exalted me. And if any are true in Christ, how then can they not be exalted, when they are dignities, because they are joint-heirs? Beloved children of Israel: The Lord has set Himself upon you, that you be blessed in the everlasting covenant of His love: that the sick among you be healed; and the lonely, comforted. And the poor among you shall find their riches in heaven; even in the earth to come. And you shall not be a forgotten people: but be lifted up above all nations: and made higher than all manner of people. For we are the sons and daughters of Israel: the first fruits of God and the Lamb: who are called in the Spirit of redemption to give our testimony for Jesus Christ in the Spirit of Prophecy. So let a man know: We do not speak with opinions: because there is no opinion to the truth. For if we speak in the Spirit of Prophecy, then we are given the mouth of a prophet: and there is no opinion from the mouth of a prophet in the body of Christ. So to those who call our testimony opinionated: let them believe the strong delusion of a lie. For I am not sent without wisdom: neither am I called without the knowledge of the truth. But in the ignorance and foolishness of men has my testimony fallen upon deaf ears. So be it: for the seed of Jerusalem has killed the prophets: and stoned them that are sent in the Spirit of Truth. To the just men and women in the city of Jerusalem, which is the city the carnal eyes see as the District of Columbia: I Cornelius, called from out of the people of my birth, that I might gather the true sheep of Israel, and enlighten the fellow citizens of our commonwealth, that all who love Christ Jesus in the sincerity of truth might be born of Hebrew blood, to receive the Seven Keys to the Church of God, and be able to possess the strength to use them: I say this: All who have possession of the Seven Keys are not with the strength to use them: what purpose then can the Keys provide for them? Nothing but vanity: and a deception among men. For Israel is the answer to my calling: and if my feet be planted upon this land; so also is the seed of Israel. Thus, O people of Israel: the holy and the just, who are scattered about, even in the land of old: I speak for your ears only, in the glory and truth of our God. For He has given us an everlasting salvation despite the unrighteousness of our fathers: because He has reserved unto Himself a number of saints. Indeed, by the unrighteousness of one were many made unrighteous: and by the righteousness of one are many made righteous. So understand the coming of the Lord: and know that His hour is nigh. For we have not been uprooted into this land to be forgotten, but to be restored, that we might receive the perfect Promise Land, which is the land that sit in the center of the earth, where the Lord Himself sit. Yea for sure, our Promised Land in the beginning, as it is shall be in the end, is to inhabit the dispossession land of the heathens: which God Himself shall do for us, that our hands remain clean from any blood. For we are not called to war, but to peace: because Christ our King and Lord is a man of war and peace. For He that is Faithful and True shall lead an army of ten thousand angels to make war and cast judgment over all the earth: then shall all the earth know and believe the one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism, that is Christ Jesus. Then shall we be set upon Mount Zion in a place that was known to men as Philadelphia, that we fulfill the words spoken by Christ to the church in Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7-12), which is the Church of God, whose seed Prophet William Saunders Crowdy re-established in fulfilling his purpose, which is even unknown to the present generations of his foundation. For even them, whom he knew, that his teachings remain among, are ignorant of the knowledge given them. But by the righteousness of one from among them, are they all given the chance to repent from their understanding, which is the guidance of false teachers. For I speak unto all of Israel: those near and abroad: those who have eyes and those who are blind: Reciting the words of the apostle Peter: whose spirit even I am. And he that have an ear, let him hear: “BUT there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds); The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest: to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberity, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire” (II Peter 2:1-22). He that seek understanding of those words, let him find understanding. Dear saints: those are the people among us: in Jerusalem, and throughout all of Israel. Cursed children are they: who despise the government of Christ, to speak evil of the dignities, which are the apostles of the Lamb and the disciples of Truth. Spots and blemishes are they, who have forsaken the right way, to live in error. Indeed they have been deceived by them, that preach, “liberty and justice for all”, under the government of Satan. This is the seed of Canaanites and their allies, who rule over Jerusalem, as in the days of old. But before them shall not one knee of mine bow: for I am the renewed seed of one of the seven thousand reserved by the Lord God of Israel, that did not bow unto Baal; neither kissed him. Not I only, but Ysmael also: and all of those who walk with us unto the end. For we are not born of men, but of God: anointed in the womb, because our spirit is from heaven. We are not corruption, but incorruption. We are not mortal, but immortal. We are not flesh, but angels of heaven. We are not men, but gods and the children of the Most High (Psalms 82:6). And though we shall die like men of flesh, as our Lord died like men of flesh: we shall rise from our death at the sound of the last trumpet like the immortals we are. For we are sent down from heaven, to lift our brethren into heaven, that they may receive the crown of everlasting life, and the seat of honor, which is their reward. Beloved children of Israel: the Lord our God has summoned us together into His holy assembly, that we fulfill our duty as servants of Christ. So to you who are called into the apostleship of the Lamb: Go forth into the way that your spirit is led, that you might gather your tribes in the knowledge of the truth. And to you who are called as disciples of Truth: Go forth, and gather your friends and neighbors into the sanctuary of your understanding, which is not of your own, but the Lord’s. For time is at hand. And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD SINNERS NOVEMBER 9, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in my redemption from the path of sinners. May the Lord God of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may His word be heard that all sinners be led into the way of His righteousness. To the general assembly of this website: The grace and supplication of the Lord is given unto you all, that you all might repent, and overcome the sinful nature of flesh, to serve the Lord in spirit and in truth. For you have not known the love of God until you have repented of your sins, to sin no more. Let every one of us repent and be born again, that the old man who is mortal and corruptible be crucified that the new man put on immortality and incorruptibleness. For if a man die a sinner, he has died a mortal, and must receive a mortal judgment. But if a man die redeemed from sin, he has died immortal, because he is the body of Christ; therefore his judgment shall be that of an immortal. It is true, that we all have sinned and come short of God’s glory. But through the love of God, we have been blessed with the Spirit of grace to receive the Spirit of Redemption. We are given a new life, which began not in these days, but in the ancient of days when the Lord Jesus Christ and his apostles walked the earth. By the grace of Jesus Christ, we have received forgiveness of our sins, seventy times seven: which began not with our birth in this land, but with our birth in the ancient of days. For our Lord Jesus Christ so said, that, his generation would not pass till all things are fulfilled. Yea for sure, all things have not been fulfilled; so how can his generation pass away? So the forgiveness of seventy times seven began not when you were born as you know it, but in the ancient of days, when your slate was wiped clean by the grace which came from the presence of Christ in flesh. Know therefore that your life at hand is a continuation of your life from the ancient of days: thus the forgiveness of seventy times seven has expired. So cast away all sin: and sin no more. For the Lord do not hear the voice of sinners (St. John 9:31): neither should any sinner call on the name of Christ (II Timothy 2:19). For there is none worthy to go before men in the name of Christ with sin in them: so sin not: for time is at hand. Let no man lift up his voice to teach in the name of Christ with sin in him: for a sinner cannot be a teacher until he departs from sin. Though I knew the secret things of the Lord; even called by the Lord Himself: until I departed from sin, my ministry could not begin. So even in the knowledge of the gospel, I held my tongue many times, because I myself was not free of sin. But now that I am redeemed from sin, I am made worthy to speak the name of Christ, unlike the many that are unworthy, yet speak his name in an unclean body. These are those who recite Scriptures; proclaiming to be knowledgeable in the word of God; yet are covet in sin. What manner of men are these, but hypocrites from the ancient of days. If any man be a lover of Jesus Christ, he know and believe that he must first depart from sin. Therefore, cast out all manner of sin from within you and become clean in the Spirit of Truth, which is freedom from all manner of sinners. And if a just man should fall victim to sin, because sin shall beset us in this world, the Father is faithful to provide a way for escape. So trust in the Lord: and use your strength as an existence of flesh to overcome sin; and the Lord shall add His strength that you become free from sinners. Brethren of mine: Men speak great things against me: but I love them still. Think not that I do not love those who speak against me: for it is a sin not to love your enemy. So I love even my enemies: knowing that my love will add coals of fire upon their heads (Romans 12:20). For we as children of the Highest, overcome evil with good. And though I depart from them, that I have no fellowship with them, neither any place among them: I depart with love: knowing that wisdom must always overshadow love. So out of my love, I give them a voice to speak in my house: I allow them to bash my name before the readers of our message board. And out of my love, I speak the knowledge of the truth into the ear of the ignorant, that he might learn. But when the ignorant turn foolish, I speak no more to his ear; because such would be foolishness on my part. For the fool cannot perceive; and cannot understand; because he is cursed into damnation. Yea for sure, the foolish sinners cannot be redeemed. For what is the meaning of the word lest? Does it not mean: for fear that; in case; so that. These are not the words of my own, but those of the Lord Jesus Christ himself. For is it not written in the gospel of St. Mark the words of Jesus Christ himself, saying, “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them” (St. Mark 4:11-12). Those words are clear. There is no need for interpretation. Those who have heard the words, but cannot understand; even to deny the meaning: these are the souls of them that cannot be converted; nor have their sins forgiven at any time. For Jesus spoke to them in parables: for fear that at any time they be converted, and their sins forgiven. St. Mark 4:11-12 The words of that Scripture is clear: and are powerful: which come not from me, but from the Holy One of Israel, the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said “lest”: which means for fear; “at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them”. Children: I have spoken those words to you before: I speak them again for the sake of the new ear. My brothers and sisters: Contrary to the lies spoken, I give you the word of God. Not a watered down version; but every word thereof. Recognize the sinners, as they rise up against us, because we speak the truth that exposes their falsehood, and the error of their understanding. Yea for sure, our testimony has uncovered the hidden work of sinners, because the light of truth from the gospel of Christ has revealed their lies. And though they still claim to follow the love of Christ, their love is as a sinful prayer; which is vain words to the Lord; because the Lord does not hear the voice of sinners. So depart from sin with a sincere heart: and free your mind from the darkness of men. For they speak convincing words without substance: reciting Scriptures without understanding; and without pertaining to the subject matter; even Scriptures that seemingly contradict the word of Jesus Christ himself. These are them that post their messages in the Church of God; claiming they are defenders of Christ and Readers of the Word, when they do not know Christ, neither does Christ know them. They are the souls that wallow in pride; being everything that they say against us; because they refuse to stand corrected. Even in my hate, I love them still. For is it a sin not to love your enemy. So I love even the fool and the wicked: but my wisdom must always overshadow my love, or I myself would become a fool. For as David so wrote: “Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men; In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes” (Psalms 26:9-10): so let it be. And as it is written by David: “BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish” (Psalms 1:1-6): so be it. My brothers and sisters: There be many standing in the way of the ungodly but know it not. These are the ignorant among fools, who are captured by the darkness of ignorance, to be locked in the prison house of sinners. These have we come to set free with the Seven Keys and the Stone of Truth. Some shall come out from the prison house; but a great many more shall not. Those are the ignorant turned foolish by the influence of fools. So they cannot be saved from their sins; because they no longer have eyes to perceive and ears to understand. They are sinners that love their own understanding. But as it is written: “Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord” (Psalm 104:35): so shall it be. My brothers and sisters: Let not the voice of the ignorant, even the fools, dissuade you from your calling, which is not from me, but the Lord Jesus Christ. But make no war against them; neither show any unkindness to them. For we are called to be the children of the Highest: so we are kind to the unthankful and the evil. But as in all things, we must apply our wisdom, that the illusions deceive us not; and that the softness of our heart prevail not. But let us remember the words of Solomon: “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not” (Proverbs 1:10). And let us be not confused as Adam was confused when Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, that we fall victim to the enticement of sin, which is the work of evil. So my fellow servants of Christ: Do not envy the sinners and their days of pleasure in sin: for they are given a space of time to enjoy the freedom from their judgment that they might entice others to consent to their wickedness. For such is the test of men, as Adam was tested through Eve. Neither be a loser of faith when just men seemingly receive the reward of the wicked: and when the wicked seemingly receive the reward of just men. For it is written: “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God. There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity” (Ecclesiastes 8:11-14). So let us therefore understand why evil is allowed to roam free: but let us not be enticed. For we make ourselves just men, when we overcome the influence of our flesh. And when we overcome the influence of our flesh, we put on incorruptibleness and immortality, that we be changed into the holy priesthood that is harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners. We make ourselves to be Christ-like: in the workmanship that God created. We make ourselves of His heavenly abode: knowing only love and truth, which is wisdom and knowledge. We make ourselves in the image of His Son, being ordained in the predestination of our calling. We make ourselves worthy to receive the Spirit of adoption, that we become sons of God and not bastards. For all who are not taken in the Spirit of adoption, to be born of God, are bastards. And if any are born of God, they are not sinners, because there is no sin in a child of God. Reading the Scriptures is one thing: but understanding is another. Any man who believe he is of Christ, yet a sinner among men, is a liar indeed. For we were called in the ancient of days from out of sinners, that we sin no more, but become joint-heirs. Yet, as in the ancient of days, I see many trying to justify their sins in the name of grace. These are the souls of sinners, whose heart and mind is given to sin. For they cannot be converted; neither can their sins be forgiven to them; because they believed not in the beginning: therefore they are cursed to be without the kingdom of God. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Hebrews 12:1-10: and let us Read and Hear: “WHEREFORE seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness”. So children: let us not be weary to faint in our minds: but let us endure the scorn and revilement from men. For what we hear from the mouth of sinners is but a mere morsel of what Jesus received in the ancient of days. Be not discouraged; neither feel left alone. For where there is two or three gathered in the true name of the Lord, so is the Lord there also. So you are not alone; because I am with you. Let the sinners stand up and be corrected, that they might receive the Spirit of Truth, and be baptized into the household of God. For the call has been made: all who do not adhere are not sons of God, but bastards of men. These are the children of disobedience: the sons of men: sinners and workers of evil. To them I bring love without mercy: for there is no mercy for the fool. For the time of forgiveness is up: those who are of God hear God’s word. We know the word of God because it is clearly written: but sinners overlook certain words, to devise a different meaning, even the lack of understanding. Think not that it is always deliberate on their part: for some can see, but not perceive: and some can hear, but not understand. These are those cursed as sinners: sounding like wise and knowledgeable men in the word of God: but are dead men talking to deceive others to death. These are the many that are on the message board in the Church of God, whom out of our love, we allow the freedom of speech. Now I know that many of these things that I preach is new to the ear: but in the soul of every just man is the knowledge of the truth. So though my words might be new to his ear, they do find a place in his heart; because the Spirit is the same. So to those who hear me not, but stand against me, are without the kingdom of God. And it does not matter how righteous the heart be: for unless the mind is righteous also, you are without the kingdom of God, because Christ is not with you, no matter how much you believe, and how hard you pray. You cannot know Christ without spirit and truth: neither can Christ know you. There is only one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. There is only one way, one truth, and one life. All others are illusions; and stumbling blocks. But if a man stand on the foundation with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone, he cannot be led away. For the testimony of Jesus Christ is pure and undefiled: how then can a man be misled? It is only when one take part of Christ words, that one can be deceived. For anything in part can be misleading: but that which is perfect cannot be misleading; neither can you add any thing to it. Brethren of mine: We are sent by Christ; and from above: not being a voice of opinions; but the Spirit of Truth. We are called from out of the righteousness of our spirit, which purified our flesh by the grace of Christ. We are the seven thousand reserved by the Lord (Romans 11:4), to be predestined for the hour at hand. It is our tithes to labor for the gospel of Christ, that we continue in the word of God, with the same enthusiasm before the presence of small groups of people as we have before large groups of people. From out of the faithfulness of these seven thousand shall many be raised up from off their knees to a false god. For we are sent with a purpose: and to do a mighty work. And there be nothing that can stand in our way: not the mischievous mind; nor the hand of bribes: for we are found among men without the spirit of guile; because we are the manifestation of angels from heaven. And in us is the power to command all men to depart from sinners; and from out of the shadow of their works. For all sinners shall be cast out: even the sinner of a righteous heart. Because all things that are done in part shall pass away: as the lukewarm man shall be vomit out. Beloved: let the sinners depart from their ways; but let the wicked be cast into eternal damnation. For the testimony we bring is as pure as the white of heaven: and the salvation we give is offered by the hand of Christ. Those who believe us not, let them believe us not. And if they can convince others not to believe, so be it. For our audience is predestined: ordained in the womb with the life that is the gift of God. And to the partakers of this heavenly calling, which come from out of the true land of Israel: All Hail: the Lord is with thee. Let every man keep silence for half an hour. And let the people say, Amen. DISCUSSSION BOARD THE BREAD OF LIFE NOVEMBER 2, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well with the bread that is life. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed to eat the bread of the Almighty God. To the inhabitants of the earth: the Lord has called His servants to gather all His people to the Lord’s table, that they might eat the meat that perish not, but which endure forever, because it is the meat of Christ. For the meat of Christ is bread indeed: but not bread only; but the bread of life, which one can never hunger or thirst. For the bread of life is not food for the flesh, but for the spirit, that the flesh might live through the Spirit. For if we live by the flesh, we are dead, because the flesh is sin. But if we live by the Spirit, though we are dead in the flesh, we are alive because of grace, to receive the reward of eternal life. I know those words are hard for some to understand: but these are the days of the regeneration: and as it was so written: “Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?” (St. John 6:60): so is it now. For I am sent to gather the worthy: those who are called into this place by the spirit of their predestination to salvation. For these are they that can see, and hear, and understand, the words of my mouth: because they are resurrected to life. But the remnant cannot see, or hear, or understand; because they are resurrected to death, that they fulfill in this regeneration of days, these words spoken of our Lord in the ancient of days: “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them” (St. Mark 4:11-12). Yea for sure: If a man cannot perceive what he see, he has not seen. And if a man cannot understand what he hear, he has not heard. How then can he know the word of Jesus Christ, to be found worthy to stand before God? So to those who hear us not: but seek to lead saints away with the words of deceit: I say this: Fulfill your purpose in this regeneration of Jesus Christ and his apostles: for time is at hand. My brothers and sisters: I know I speak that which is not easy to understand at all times. But if one seeks to know the hard things, their eyes shall be open to perceive; and their ears open to understand. For blessed are those that seek the truth: for they shall receive that which they seek. The question becomes: Will they accept the truth when they see it and hear it? For all who are led into this place are blessed indeed: but what good is a blessing if you do not perceive it? Dear people: I speak these words not to convince you; but to show you the truth; that you might free your mind from the darkness of this world. For I heard a wise man say: “Free your mind and your ass will follow”. And I heard a disciple of Christ say: “the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet” (II Peter 2:16). On what side then will you be found? Let a man first learn his roots, that he might know his heritage. For by the knowledge of the prophet Jeremiah, we know that we were brought on slave ships to Babylon. Not being the lowest of the people; but the seed of the king and princes: children with no blemish, but well favored in the sight of God; being skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science as it is written in Daniel 1:3-4. And we know that our fathers taught the Babylonians many things: and that in all matters of wisdom and understanding, the king of Babylon found the children of Judah ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in his realm (Daniel 1:20). And we know that all prophecy of God must be fulfilled: even when it is not fulfilled at the time we think. For though some prophets came before others, the prophecy of those who came before is placed behind. Such as the prophecy of Amos, who came before Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel; but whose book of prophecy is placed behind them in the Holy Bible. Why? There is indeed a reason my friends: for some prophecy is given before its time. For we know that Jeremiah prophesied of our captivity (Jeremiah 13:19), which came to pass at the hand of Babylon. But Amos, who came before Jeremiah, prophesied of a captivity after the vision of Jeremiah; saying, “And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God” (Amos 9:14-15). This is not the same captivity in Jeremiah prophecy; because the captivity had not occurred; and Amos wrote the word “again”. Such is why the prophecy of Amos, which was written before Jeremiah, is after the prophecy of Jeremiah, in the Holy Bible. The prophecy of Amos was fulfilled with the captivity of our fathers by the hand of England, which came after the children of Israel had multiplied for 1400 years in South Africa, after escaping the Roman genocide of 68-70 AD. I tell you these things that you might know your roots, to realize your heritage, and to see the world as it truly is. For as long as you look to the land of old, which is decayed, as the old covenant is decayed; your knowledge shall be old, and decayed. For as the Lord gave us a land flowing with milk and honey in the ancient of days: a land inhabited by the Gentiles. So has He set us upon this land, which is a land flowing with milk and honey, and a land inhabited by Gentiles, till the coming our king, the Lord Jesus Christ, that the prophecy of Isaiah be fulfilled: saying, “Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off” (Isaiah 33:17). Even the prophecy of II Chronicles 7:20: “Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations”. Yea for sure, the Scriptures bear witness to the things I speak. For I Cornelius, am found standing on the foundation of the prophets and apostles with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone, which are the Scriptures. So lie not: saying, I speak not according to Scripture. For what prophecy have I spoken that is not written in the Scriptures? And what testimony have I given that is not found in the Scriptures? These things which have been a mystery to you are now revealed, that you might understand the world at hand. I speak these words not for the sake of those that can hear not: but for the sake of the new ear, that they might see through the clouds that eclipse truth, to hear the voice of truth. For the Lord has sent them into this place that they might receive the gift of God: and take their place at the Lord’s table, to partake of the bread of life, and the communion of the Holy Ghost. So I pray for you all: all who have entered into this website, that you all might hear that which is freely given. For the church of God is the body: and our tithes and offerings is our labor and sacrifice for the Lord. Worship God in the body: for the body is the temple of the Holy Ghost (I Corinthians 6:19). My brothers and sisters: I have fed you with the bread of life, which is the knowledge of life, which is the Lord Jesus Christ. Be therefore wise, and eat every bit of it. For the land that the prophet Isaiah spoke of when he was yet in the land of old, saying, “they shall behold the land that is very far off”, is the land of America: and the captivity that the prophet Amos spoke of is the captivity of our slavery in America. My brothers and sisters: The prophecy of Jeremiah was fulfilled again, when he wrote: “Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD; it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say” (Jeremiah 5:15): and when he spoke: “And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you” (Jeremiah 15:14). Such were the days of our slavery in the land of America, which is the new land of Canaan, and the promised land of Satan. Brethren: I cannot make men see what they cannot see. And I cannot make them hear what they cannot hear. If I seem to repeat myself, know that it is done for the sake of the new ear. For we are sent as servants to speak into every ear, that no ear might be left without hearing the gospel of Christ. So gather yourselves in the knowledge of the truth, and take your seat at the Lord’s table, and wait on the Lord. For the Lord will come quickly, though it will not seem so in counting the days of flesh. Who then is worthy to receive Him? None: but those who are willing to endure unto the end. Therefore I say this thing, and the thing is certain: As I come in the power of the Scriptures, so am I also in the power of the Lamb’s book of life. And if only my wife and I are left standing in the belief of this knowledge I have given unto you; that is enough. For where there is two or three gathered in the true name of the Lord, there is the Lord also. Now let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. John 6:27-40: and let us Read and Hear: “Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day”. Let no man be mistaken: for I am not Jesus Christ: but I am sent down from heaven: anointed in the womb for the purpose at hand, which is to be conformed to the image of the Son, and the resurrection of the firstborn of many brethren out of Christ. Thus in the Spirit of him that send me, I speak these words as he so spoke when he was yet among us in the flesh, saying, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me” (St. John 6:45). And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. DISCUSSION BOARD ;nbsp;                                                  THE FIFTH TESTIMONY                                                    OCTOBER 26, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well despite living in a world of corruption. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed to stay in the way of His righteousness. Dearly beloved: let us keep our eyes on the Lord always: and our hearts in His love: and our mind in His knowledge: and our feet in His path. For if we should stray away for a moment, we weaken ourselves to fall victim to the ignorance of our flesh. Therefore, let us not lose focus along the way, that we might step over the stumbling blocks, and avoid the influence of sin. For these things are set against us, that we might fail in the journey to salvation. Children of the Most High: I Cornelius, your brethren and your fellow servant of Jesus Christ, called from out the ways of flesh to give my testimony for Jesus Christ in the Spirit of Prophecy: declare unto you the salvation of God. Though I sit with a heavy heart: carrying great weight upon my shoulders: I will faint not: but hold fast to the things I believe. I will not falter or fail; but be steadfast and un-moveable in the hope that is Christ salvation. For I am a slave to him: loyal to his word and command. I am made in his image, and after his likeness, that even as a slave, I am blessed to inherit the glory and honor of a joint heir. Even in my servitude, I am made equal, through the loving kindness of He that created me. Not I only, but us all. For we are all born again, to be adopted as children of God, and honored as sons of God. For in our honor is the glory of our Christ: our Lord and Master: the only begotten Son of our Father which art in heaven. We are blessed in the Spirit of adoption, to cry, Abba, Father, without speaking a lie. For the Sprit as it is written, bears witness with our spirit as an existence of flesh, that we are the children of God. And if we are children of God, then no sin is found in us; because whosoever is born of God do not commit sin. So even in the righteousness of our hearts, we must be born again, that the righteousness of our hearts, which is the spirit of God as an existence of flesh, be as the righteousness of our minds, which is the Spirit of adoption. For the heart knows truth by the existence of flesh: but the mind must accept truth to receive the Spirit of adoption. I know those words are not easy to understand; but if a man have the Spirit of adoption in his mind, he shall receive understanding that he may perceive the knowledge of life. So to those who cannot understand my speech: and who cannot hear my word: It is because you do not have the Spirit of adoption in your mind: thus even in the righteousness of your heart you are the children of the devil. So I say unto you as our Lord said unto your fathers: “Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God” (St. John 8:43-47). My brothers and sisters: sadness has become the thought that exist in my face as I look out unto the minds and ways of men. For the corruption of sin and evil has not diminished in the earth; but grows greater each day among our youth, as they bathe themselves in the laughter and pleasures of the world: indoctrinated into the lifestyle of videos and MTV. Thus, they have become blind and ignorant to the things that matter, which are the things of Christ, to be lost souls in a lost world. Indeed, they have not heard: “The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth” (Ecclesiastes 7:4). Yea, they wallow in the house of mirth, which is the joy of living the lifestyle of MTV and videos: and the gaiety of drugs, and drunkenness, and fornication. Where are the parents of these children? Are not many of them children also? How can we be lovers of God and allow our children to be corrupted by the world? Corruption has taken over the lives of many that they can no longer see it from their own hand; and that they ignore it from the hand of their own children. What purpose then can these people serve: but an unrighteous influence on those who seek righteousness. Are they not the same spirits that were before, even in the days of Moses? I tell you no lie: These shall not tread their feet upon the new soil in the Messianic Age; but be cast out with the rottenness of seeds. For in the world to come, we shall be upright parents of holiness and righteousness: worthy caretakers of the Lord’s crop. And if a rebellious child should rise up against his parents, the hand of the parents shall be the first to cast judgment. For if we allow wickedness to breathe among us, we allow the influence of its spirit to manifest evil in flesh. And if we allow evil to walk among us in the world to come, so shall we be cast out with the evil, that, our place be found no more in the paradise of Christ; but on the wrong end of his right hand. So I pray that we strengthen ourselves as parents: that, our children might be strengthened in the ways of God. For it is written: “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him” (Proverbs 22:15). Thus, let us break the chain of ignorance, which has blinded us to indulge ourselves, and our children, in the culture of paganism: using “it is fun for the kids”, as an excuse to continue the celebration of Halloween, and Christmas, and Easter. If you are worthy of our inheritance, then you have the strength to break the chain of generations loyal to the festivities of a pagan nation. You will no longer serve the devil in his deceit, to honor the glory of his days, which he has set aside as Halloween, and Christmas, and Easter. Put these customs and traditions of the Gentiles away from your household, that you be not counted among the heathens in the hour of judgment. For we, O children of Israel, are set as examples for all who are called in the name of Christ to walk upon the earth. By our salvation is all salvation given: to the European, and to the Asian, and to the Spanish, and to the African, and to the Indian, and to the Arab. For there was no race of men omitted of the Holy Ghost: for it was given unto every flesh and received by every flesh. Who then has told a lie: but every one that say the Holy Ghost was not given to the Arab. For it is surely written: “Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God” (Acts 2:11). But even though the Holy Ghost was given and received by the seed of all men: not all men received the Holy Ghost. For though some Jews believed, others did not. And though some Arabs believed, others did not. And though some Europeans believed, others did not. And though some Indians believed, others did not. And though some Spanish believed, others did not. And though some Asians believed, others did not. And though some Africans believed, others did not. I am not sent to those who believed not, but to those who believed, that the truth set them free from the chains of ignorance, which has captured them because of the thick darkness that had hid the truth. And in setting them free, so are they also redeemed of sin, that they sin no more as our Lord so said. For we are made to be examples of our Lord: and to the follow the ways of our Lord. And what are the ways of our Lord? Is it not written: “And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more” (St. John 8:11). So in setting us free from the guilt of sin, we are commanded to sin no more. Therefore, as we are freed to be baptized in the knowledge of the truth, let us sin no more; but be pure in the sincerity of righteousness. For Christ our Lord, who knew no sin, was made sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (II Corinthians 5:21). Thus, by that means, know the debts you owe unto the Lord is everlasting. Thus, even in the inheritance of a joint heir, we are servants to Christ still, because of our debts. For it is surely written:“And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:12-14). Beloved assembly of this holy place: I heard the voice of one that entered therein, asking for a Scripture reference to support my claim as the first among equals. If he had asked with the spirit of a sincere heart, I would have gladly repeated the knowledge that I had given before. So I say this not for his sake: but for the sake of the new ear, that he might know of my place among this assembly, and why this website is at hand. Let us open our Holy Bibles to Romans 8:28-39: and let us Read and Hear: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”. Amen, and Amen. THE TIMES OCTOBER 19,2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in these peril times at hand. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all in the safety of His eye. Beloved children of God; and the holy and true of Israel: the times at hand are the times so prophesied by the prophets of old; and by the Gospel and Revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us recognize the days: for in recognizing such we see that the Second Advent is at hand. For these are the days in which you have prayed for, and which have been foretold to you. Let us recognize the times, and prepare ourselves for the times to come, which are the next years, and months, even days. For time is at hand. Beloved: I speak these words to those who are found among us, as they stand among us in that same spirit, and of that same face, as in the ancient of days; saying to them as it is written in St. Matthew 16:1-4: “THE Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas”. Are they not blind: those who seek a sign other than the voice of Truth? Are they not hypocrites: those who praise the name of the Lord yet seek a sign for the eyes of flesh to believe? Yea if I were to walk on water believe me not; but know me then to be a false prophet. For the wonders and miracles before the eyes of flesh in these times are given to the power of the beast. For it is surely written in the Revelation of our Lord: “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live” (Revelation 13:11-14). So the miracles and wonders done before the eyes of men in these times come not from one in the Spirit of Christ, but one in the spirit of the Antichrist. Be not deceived; but know and believe in the word of God. For it is also written in II Thessalonians 2:9-12: “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness”. So I pray for all men, that all men might be sanctified of the Spirit to believe on the truth. I pray that all men take up the Revelation of Saint John The Divine and read the words therein: for the end of this heaven and earth shall come as it is so written on the pages of Revelation. For how great is the last word of the Holy Bible? How great is the testimony of Jesus Christ from the seat of his throne in heaven? I tell you no lie: The world shall not end by nuclear warfare: for no man has the power to destroy the earth; neither by sword, nor by any weapon of mass destruction. For the power of God alone shall destroy the earth, which is His Word alone. For men do have power as gods, but their power is futile to even the lowest angel of God. What challenge then can they present against Christ: even the archangel? So I pray that no man be found as a fool: so read and hear the words of Revelation: even the words of all that is written in the Holy Bible. And in your reading, if you should come across a word that you do not know the meaning, guess not, and assume not; but take the time to look up the meaning in the dictionary. For many are led astray out of laziness, and unwillingness, to seek the truth. Beloved: let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to the beginning of Revelation: and let us Read and Hear: “THE Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand” (Revelation 1:1-3). So is it written: so let it be. Beloved: I Cornelius, called from out of the tribe of Judah, to give this testimony for Jesus Christ in the Spirit of Prophecy, and according to the Revelation that has been foretold: Do not seek to convince any man of my calling other than to speak in the Spirit of Truth. Yea for sure, men use the word of truth loosely; claiming they are followers of the truth; but are blind guides for the blind. What truth can a man follow if the teachings are outside of the words of Christ, or against the traditions that he taught? For what servant of Christianity honor the Lord’s Passover? And how can a follower of the prophet Mohammed not honor Christ, when the blessings of Ishmael (the progenitor of the Arabs) are through Christ? What blessing can any man receive other than through Abraham, whom Christ was before? Men preach in the name of truth, yet tell lies. Christianity is a lie like all religions and faiths without the light of Israel is a lie. Even those who call themselves Jews and the nation of Israel, is not, but the synagogue of Satan and a state of falsehood. But in their pride, and in their stubbornness, and ignorance, and evil spirit; they repent not to honor the one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism, which is the commonwealth of the true Israel, which stands in the land of America: and whose people by birth is the black race; even the Filipino: and whose people by nature is all flesh, and languages, that serve the Holy One of Israel, the Lord Jesus Christ, in spirit and in truth. Beloved: all races of men: the seed of the European, and the Indian, and the Spanish, and the Asian, and the African, and the Arab, and the Jew: You are the seed of the seven churches of Christ. So be it that you prepare yourselves to partake of your inheritance, which hour is nigh: for time is at hand. Count not the days for the end of these times: but know you must first endure many things. For none can enter into the paradise of our Lord without first being tested as gold is tested to be refined as silver is refined. I pray for you all in these trying times, which require patience, and an increase in faith. Thus, let us be sound in prayer, and confident in our trust. For without prayer we cannot receive the increase of faith: and without trust we cannot be patient to endure unto the end. So hear these words I speak I pray: for time is at hand: and that great day of the Lord is nigh. My brothers and sisters: He that have a spiritual eye let him read the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and believe the things therein, to keep the things therein. For the Lamb’s book of life do come from the foundation of the world: and the foundation of the world is the earth. And if a man believe not that I am he that have the little book which is sweet as honey in the mouth, and bitter in the belly; let him at least know that the Lamb’s book of life is sent down from heaven to be on the earth that men might find their way to have their names written therein. For how can any name be written in the book of life when there is controversy among men over the truth? I tell you no lie: No man shall see his name written in the book of life with the eyes of flesh save a few, of which some shall be blotted out. For the names that are written to be saved are written with the finger of God: and they are invisible to the eyes of men on the earth. So be not thankful of the book that is found in the Library of Congress, and in the hands of some. For the book in which you were given shall pass away as the heaven and earth shall pass away: because it was given in part; because I knew in part; and prophesied in part. But now is the hour of perfection, which is the perfection of Christ our Lord, whose perfection is manifested in us, that we be living examples before the eyes of men in the way that is Christ-like. For we have been chosen from the beginning to salvation through the sanctification of our Spirit and our belief in the truth, which has given us eternal life that we be resurrected for the times at hand, that we might prepare you for the times to come. So we prophesy not: but reveal the mystery of Revelation, which has been revealed to us, that you might understand the times at hand. And as the pages of Revelation is written for the spiritual eye, we reveal it to you for the eyes of flesh, that no man, or woman, or child, might have an excuse for not knowing. So to all who are called to partake of this heavenly calling, I say these things: “And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer” (Revelation 6:1-2). The white horse is a sign of Christ (Revelation 19:11-13); but the rider is not Christ. The rider is crowned with the crown of everlasting life: and armed with a bow for arrows to shoot through the clouds of darkness that the light of Christ be seen. In that manner am I sent conquering, and to conquer all Falsehood upon the earth. I am not Christ: but I am the mystery behind what is written in the Gospel of St. Luke 17:22-26: and in St. John 16:7-14. I am one like unto the Son of man: called to spill the blood of Christ for the Passover of his servants into the Messianic Age. I am likened to Michael, the archangel, and the manifestation of the Spirit of Truth. Beloved: The first seal is the beginning of a spiritual and social revolution in the true name of Jesus Christ. The first seal is the revealing of the Lamb’s book of life in its perfection. “And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword” (Revelation 6:3-4). The red horse represents bloodshed: the rider is an unclean spirit that promotes violence and war. This spirit is found in all men that promote violence and war on the earth by reason of their own hand: even those who wage war against the Great Whore. This seal was opened on the day known as September 11, 2001, which was only the beginning of innocent slayings in this country as it is around the world. And in these current times which are the days of the second seal, where one war shall rise up after another, and the guilty hand of America shall be found in every place, because her work is to spread her sovereignty over all the earth in the name of freedom, which in the eyes of truth is freedom from the commandments of God, which the Statue of Liberty, the replica of the Great Whore, symbolize. And in these times of the second seal, of which no man knows the number days, the nation of Islam shall raise a mighty hand against the false nation of Israel: and the false nation of Israel shall suffer the sword of Islam. And there shall be an abundance of protest and civil unrest in the nation of America: and civil war shall be found in many countries. And these times shall be known as the days of the second seal. “And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine” (Revelation 6:5-6). The black horse represents dark days, when the Stock Market shall crash over all the earth, and the bourgeoisie shall be found no more at all. And a great Depression shall cover the land of America, that suicide shall become many, and famine and pestilence a torment to her allies. And the world shall know without doubt the name of the true Jews: and that the true habitation of Israel is found in America: and that the spiritual Jerusalem is in the District of Columbia. And the cry of justice for all shall become justice for only those who keep their loyalty to the Great Whore despite her great wound, which came from the voice of Truth. For all others shall be labeled as outlaws, because of the spiritual and social revolution in the peace of God, which shall cause much distress to the governments of all the nations. For the shepherd of Israel shall lead many from out of the way of Christianity, and Buddhism, and Hinduism, even Islam as you know it. And though they are few, they are many. And they are converted to the knowledge of the truth, that they may walk in the light of everlasting life. Those shall be the times of the third seal. “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth” (Revelation 6:7-8). This is the rise of the new President and the new Pope: for the previous had fallen because worry and fear attacked their heart by reason of the arrows from the voice of Truth. And they shall hate me with a great hate, because of my testimony. And they shall slay me so that all the earth might see the crucifixion of Jesus as it was in the ancient of days. And the strong arm of these two great beasts that are found written in Revelation 13:1-17, shall rise up to crush the spiritual and social revolution over all the earth with the iron teeth of coercion. For great power shall be given into the hand of the Great Whore and all her allies, that they overcome the hand of them that waged war against them, and who had defeated their armies. Those shall be the times of the fourth seal. “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled” (Revelation 6:9-11). These are the days of genocide, when Revelation 13:15 is fulfilled. And in those times the President and Pope shall lead armies of men over all the earth to stamp out all religions except Catholicism, the founder of Christianity: beginning at Jerusalem (Washington, DC), as it is written in the gospel of St. Luke 21:20-24: even in Revelation 11:1-2. So I pray you read those Scriptures, that you might be prepared for the days that will surely come, which shall last for forty and two months. Those are the times of the fifth seal. “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” (Revelation 6:12-17). This great earthquake that shall shake the whole universe will cast the whole state of California into the Pacific Ocean. And anarchy shall cover all the earth by reason of this great and mighty earthquake, which every nation shall bear witness. And men shall find no safe place to hide; not on the earth, nor under the earth, neither in the sea, nor on the moon. For these times shall be as it is written in the Gospel of St. Luke 21:25-31. And mercy and forgiveness shall depart from the sight of men: because heaven shall depart as a “scroll when it is rolled together”. And no man, or woman, or child, can be saved, but them that endured the times of the fifth seal without receiving the mark of the beast. These are the true servants of God who came from out of their tribulation righteous and holy still. And they were sealed with the seal of redemption and salvation in the rapture of God. And the number of them sealed were a 144, 000 from the twelve tribes of Israel: and a number that no man could number who were Gentiles by birth, but converted to the nature of a Jew in Christ: who came from out of the tribulation of saints, righteous and holy still. “AND when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound” (Revelation 8:1-6). He that seek to know the end, let him read from that point on. Love and Blessings to you all from the holy and true sanctuary of Jesus Christ. Amen, and Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD                                                              DEMONS                                                       OCTOBER 12, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well, though demons, which are devils, are around me. May the Lord our God keep us in the safety of His embrace: and may He heal and comfort the sick and shut-in. Beloved assembly of the Lord: Let us be aware of the demons that walk among us, that, we might cast them out from our assembly. For they do walk among us: pretending to be saints when they are demons. Calling themselves servants of God, when they are loyal souls from hell. And they look like the elderly: even as innocent children: but are devils in disguise. For have you not read when Jesus entered into the synagogue of Capernaum on the Sabbath day, there was man there of an unclean spirit; and he cried out to Jesus, saying, “Let us alone”(St. Mark 1:21-24)? Did that unclean spirit not know that Jesus was the Holy One of God? Let us therefore know, without doubt, that, the demons, which are devils, know the way of God, yet despise His way. They have conceived their own way: and made themselves to believe that they are God. They lie in bed at night thinking of mischievous things: for they are rotten to the core: and an unclean spirit of flesh and blood. Some are obvious to the naked eye: but most can only be seen with the spiritual eye of truth. Demons, which are devils, are walking the earth as angels of heaven are walking the earth. And as we who are children of God look like ordinary men and women, so do the demons look like ordinary men and women. But as a true saint is known by the knowledge of the truth: a devil is known by his allegiance to falsehood. Be not blind to the real world: but be knowledgeable with the spiritual eye. For when a mass murderer go forth: know that he is indeed insane, but insane with the spirit of a demon, which makes him cunning in committing his evilness. Dear children: Do you not know that a serial killer is a demon? Do you not know that a serial killer is a freed spirit from Dis, walking upon the earth in human flesh as the spirits of heaven walk upon the earth in human flesh? Yea, indeed, these demons are set free, because Satan is set free. And these serial killers are not new to the earth, but were since the beginning of men, even as Cain, who took upon the spirit of a demon. Be not deceived by the remorse from a demon: for if a devil has remorse for the evil committed, he would not commit another evil& But when a man kill, then kills again, what remorse do he truly have in his heart, but an act to deceive? Be not deceived, to believe that a demon, which is a devil, can repent to serve the Lord. For a devil is an unclean spirit that cannot be cleansed: therefore will not come unto the Lord to be baptized. For have you not read how when Jesus came into the country of Gergesenes, he met two possessed with devils, who asked not to be saved, but to be cast into swine (St. Matthew 8: 28-32)? Even so, some unclean spirits fell down before Jesus, confessing him as the Son of God, and obeyed him as he had commanded (St. Mark 3:11-12). Let us know then, that even the demons in their freedom, is still subject to the Lord. And let us know also, that, an unclean spirit cannot be saved. But the flesh that is possessed by an unclean spirit can be saved to receive a new spirit if the flesh seeks to repent and serve the Lord with a sincere heart (St. Mark 5:18-20). But let a man have the wisdom to know the difference between a sincere heart and a deceiving act. For a sincere heart will repent immediately after committing evil: but an evil heart will continue to commit evil. How then can his sincerity be true: if he only ask for forgiveness after he is caught with the blood of the innocent? But know also, that, even the cry for remorse after committing an evil might not be of a sincere heart. Beloved: Our Lord descended into hell not to free the demons, but to set free the prisoners of the demons, which were cast into hell by the influence of devils. This thing our Lord did do, that, they receive of his grace, that, they all might be saved. But our fathers, who were given the keys to the kingdom of heaven: in their ignorance, and in the softness of their heart, set free the demons upon the earth, that even in heaven they are found, as Satan is found. For our Lord so said: “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (St. Matthew 16:19). Let us know then, why, Satan and the Devil, and their angels, are in heaven as they are on earth. For the keys were given unto us; but we proved ourselves unworthy. Yet, because of the worthiness of one, we are all redeemed, to receive another chance, that we might prove ourselves worthy to possess the Seven Keys. So enter ye, every one of you, into the true body of Jesus Christ, which is the mind of spirit and truth, that the sound of his words gives sight of his presence. For the demons speak in the name of God: even using good words and fair speeches to deceive the righteous hearts. But if a man be of sound mind and doctrine, which is to worship God in spirit and in truth, he cannot be deceived. So open up your ears, that you might hear the sound that give sight of the Lord. For blessed are those who read and hear the gospel of Christ, as it is so written. Beloved: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. Mark 5:1-20; and let us Read and Hear: “AND they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and choked in the sea. And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel”. So what have we learned from those Scriptures? Have we not learned that the devils sought not to be baptized, but to be sent into another unclean thing, which was swine? Indeed, swine was an unclean thing to the children of Israel, because it was forbidden to eat. But as in all the forbidden meat of animals, the Lord God cleanse them all, and made them acceptable unto us (Acts 10:10-15). And though Peter doubted in himself the meaning of the vision: if he had understood the words of Jesus, when he spoke, saying, “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man” (St. Matthew 15:11): he would have had no doubt. Such is why Jesus said, “Hear, and understand” (St. Matthew 15:10). Moreover, have we not learned that those in flesh who condone the uncleanness of their spirit shall be damned: but those who seek repentance shall be saved? Yea for sure: those who follow the way of the wicked shall be condemned as the wicked. Christ has given us all the Holy Ghost, that we all might freely receive the gift of God. But unless we use our strength as an existence of flesh, we will not overcome the demon that is inside us all. So if a devil be cast out, let the man, or the woman, or the child cast him out. For you are given the power through the Holy Ghost, which has been freely given to you. Indeed, the power of Christ is in your hands, that you may overcome insanity, and the wayward things. Realize the spirit of God that is within you, that you might receive of His power, to thwart the demon within you. For we are made to be gods over our flesh, that we live our flesh according to the righteousness of our spirit. Brethren: If a man pieces all the sermons that I have given, together; he shall learn the knowledge of life, and the secrets, and the mysteries. For we are spirit and flesh: the knowledge of good and evil. And if we cannot overcome the nature of our sinful flesh: we cannot overcome the world to be saved from the demon that is in us all. I pray for us all, that we all might overcome, and be saved in the Holy One of Israel. For time is at hand: and the signs have been revealed. There is no such thing as coincidence. I pray you worship God in spirit and in truth, that you may see the world as it is, which is with the spiritual eye. For the figure you know as the Sniper that is terrorizing the Washington, DC area, is a demon with a message for the servants of God. Do not call this figure crazy or insane, but the manifestation of evil. For it sees with the spiritual eye, and lives in the real world, which is the spiritual world, with an evil heart. For have you not learned that the unclean spirits knew Jesus and acknowledged him as the Son of God when they laid eyes upon him: but the common man who saw the world with the eyes of flesh, knew him not. Know therefore, that the demons see with the spiritual eye, because they are spiritual beings of evil, as we are spiritual beings of good. Now let us trace the actions of this manifestation of a demon on earth known among men as the Sniper: this figure began its shooting spree with a bullet into the window of a store called Michael’s: not to harm anyone, but to reveal a clue to its purpose. Then this demon went on a shooting rampage, killing innocent people as they went about their normal life. And so that men might understand the purpose of these killings, the demon brought remembrance back to the name Michael when a victim was shot outside a Michael’s store. Then came the Death tarot card at the next shooting of a child, saying, “I am God”. This figure lives in the real world, which is the spiritual world, where the war between good and evil is at hand. This demon has declared war against the archangel Michael, which must occur on earth before it is fought in heaven. When you look into the lives of the victims, you will find good-hearted and innocent people. You will find God-fearing men, women, and children. Though the victims might be chosen at random, the unclean spirit of this figure knows the righteous hearts of the victims by reason of the spiritual knowledge in the spiritual world of good and evil. This demon is sent from the throne of Satan and manifested in flesh to slay innocent hearts because the falling away has come by reason of the Lamb’s book of life, that men might see the world as it is, which is with the spiritual eye of truth. For time is at hand. And unless a man can see these words of II Thessalonians with the spiritual eye, he shall be as one who is forever learning the Scriptures and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. So I pray that all men hear, and understand these words of II Thessalonians: “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that is God” (II Thessalonians 2:1-4). So brethren, know that the falling away has come, and the son of perdition has been revealed. But the end has not yet come: for we are still in the days of the second seal of seven to come. So be patient: for the time at hand is only the beginning of things to come. So I leave you this Sabbath in the knowledge of our brother and fellow servant Paul, who foretold of things to come, saying: “And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work” (II Thessalonians 2:8-17). Brethren: so be it, that the truth of the Lord set us free, that we may be delivered from among unreasonable and wicked men. For the traditions handed down to us from our Lord Jesus Christ shall keep us free from the demons that lurk to possess our minds, and from the unclean spirits that seek to influence our mortal bodies with the pleasures of this world. So let us pray always to the faithfulness of the Lord, who shall establish us, and keep us from evil. Let us use the faithfulness of our strength as an existence of flesh, and the Lord will add His strength, to give us the power to defeat the demons that lie in wait to snare our mortal bodies, that our spirit might be affected, even with peaceful insanity. I Cornelius: your brethren, and your fellow servant of Jesus Christ, salute you all into the assembly of the Lord, that you might see the real world, which is the spiritual world. So open up the third eye, which is the spiritual eye of truth, that you may see the world as it truly is. The salutation of Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD                                                               FREE                                                      OCTOBER 5, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the freedom that has been bestowed upon me by the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be set free by the knowledge of the truth and the will to believe. Beloved assembly of this holy place: I Cornelius, your brethren and your fellow servant of Jesus Christ, am set free from the house of bondage through the blessings of our Lord, who has showed me the light of His way, that I may see through the clouds that eclipse truth. And as He has showed me the way, so do I show you, that you may be where I am. For I am not set in this place for me only, but to labor for my brothers and sisters in Christ, that we all might be set free. For I was a servant in the beginning; and I shall be a servant in the end. And though my flesh feel the weariness of much stress and anxiety, which is the fatigue of my labor, I faint not; but use my will as an existence of flesh which allows the Lord to give me the added strength to endure. For I cannot receive strength unless I first give strength: so call not on the Lord for strength without first using your own strength as an existence of flesh: for such would be to call on the name of the Lord in vain. God is our strength when we use our strength as an existence of flesh. For we are set free as an existence of flesh to love the way of the Lord as an existence of flesh. Unless we love the way of the Lord as an existence of flesh, we will not find the strength to endure the trials and tribulations of a saint. For when we are set free, so are the feelings and thoughts of our flesh, which is the weakness of our existence. We are weak in flesh, but strong in spirit. But if we love the way of the Lord in flesh as we do in spirit, we shall overcome the nature of our flesh, and free ourselves from the captivity of sin. For a man must show his own works to receive the works of the Lord. Yea for sure, the strength to overcome the nature of sinful flesh is the gift of God, which come by reason of our faith and trust in the Lord, which motivates us to use our strength as an existence of flesh in our effort to overcome our sinful nature. So here is wisdom: We are set free by the grace of Christ to chose our own way: for Christ has showed us his way: but we are given a free will to make our own choice: whether we choose good or evil. Therefore, think before you act: for the choice you make in a moment may have ill consequences that last a lifetime. Look before you jump: for there might not be a safe landing place. My brothers and sisters: We are all set free, even the souls of hell. We all are given grace, that, we might become wise and repent and serve the Lord. For is it not an act of stupidity to be set free by him who has the keys to heaven and hell, and you chose hell. We are all set free: even the unclean spirits and the dead of heart. But the wicked shall be wicked and deceive the simple: and the evil shall be evil and slay the righteous, even the wicked. But the children of God are the children of God and cannot be led astray. For we are set free to show others how to set themselves free, that they might overcome the nature of their sinful flesh, that their feelings and thoughts of sin become not action. So let us free ourselves from the ways of sin, which is all manner of unrighteousness. So put away all faiths save the faith of salvation: for if we serve any lie of Christ, we have served unrighteousness. For there is no lie in Christ: how then can a man bring a lie and not be unrighteous? For is not a lie a sin: even a so-called white lie? Thus, put away all doctrine save the doctrine given unto you by the Lord Jesus Christ, as spoken in the gospels, and in his Revelation. For if a man know any thing, I pray he know this, that: The Lord God of Israel was, is, and shall be. What then is the faith of salvation? Dear children: We are truly free when we live our lives according to the gospel of Christ. For if we turn back into the sinfulness of our past, though we have the illusion of being free, we are not free in reality, but captives of the wicked spirit: not realizing the ignorance and foolishness of our ways: and the death and hell to come. I pray for us all: that, because we are set free by the grace of Christ, to be forgiven of our sins, we continue not in sin. For we are not made free by the grace of Christ to continue in sin, but to be planted together in the likeness of Christ death, that we may also be in the likeness of his resurrection, as it is so written. For whereas death had victory over us, we are made free of death by the servitude to our Lord Jesus Christ, who has bestowed upon us the gift of God, which is everlasting life. So let us give praise always to the Holy One of Israel. And let us sing a song in his name to the glory of his being, that the heavens may rejoice. For today is the day which the Lord our God has made, and hallowed, and sanctified, as a day of rest. So on this beloved day of His rest, let us open our Holy Bibles to worship our God on His Holy Sabbath day: and let us Read and Hear the words of Romans 6:15-23: “What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”. Dearly beloved: I pray you all receive the gift of God, which cannot be purchased with money, nor with promises: but with our faith and trust only. Therefore, be not deceived by a seemingly holy man, or a so-called minister of God. For a true holy man, and a true minister of God, do not seek your money to bestow you blessings. A true minister of God is not living lavishly off the money given to him by the members of his congregation, or by the offerings given to him in his visit to other churches, or by the selling of his books of inspiration. I tell you those ministers are not serving the true name of the Lord Jesus Christ, but the wealth of the wicked. They feed their own belly; giving good words and fair speeches to deceive the righteous hearts of simple minds, as it is written in Romans 16:18. Indeed these ministers multiply exceedingly: deceiving goodhearted people with their television evangelism. Set yourself free of their ignorance and stupidity: for their leadership shall not lead you into the kingdom of heaven. These are those who prey on lonely women, and on the downtrodden, and on the simple. So be it then, that, you free yourselves of your simplicity, that you may be refined in the knowledge of the truth, by which no man can be misled, neither fall victim to any cult, nor into the way of ignorance and foolishness. I pray for you all: that you repent: and turn away from the root of all evil, which is the love of money. For what money can you give the Lord that He might be satisfied? The Lord seeks not your money. For it is written: “And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God” (Acts 8:18-21). Dear children of the Lord: Free yourselves from the ignorance of your minds, that you might open your ears to know the truth, and find the strength to believe and endure. For God is not found in temples made with hands, neither is He worshipped with the hands of men. So what make men think that God can be worshipped in these buildings that they build as a place of worship. Indeed the churches of men were built for a moment and a time, which has now passed. For it is written in the book of Acts: “Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? Hath not my hand made all these things?” (Acts 7:48-50) And it is written: “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things” (Acts 17:24-25). So did Solomon err in his building of the temple? All things that are done in a sincere heart are ordained of God: even if only for a moment and a time. For if the powers that be, which are evil, are ordained of God to fulfill a purpose; so are other things done to fulfill a purpose. But as with the powers that be: all things not done in the true name of the Lord shall pass away. As honoring Sunday as the Sabbath day shall pass way: and using the cross as a symbol of Christ shall pass away: and all faiths save the light of Israel shall pass away: and a building as the temple shall pass away. For Jesus Christ did not give us a different day to honor as the Sabbath (St. Luke 4:14-16): nor did he preach the cross other than for men to join him at his crucifixion (St. Matthew 10:38-39): nor did he bring salvation other than that of the Jews (St. John 4:22): neither built he a temple made with men’s hands (St. John 2:19-21). Thus I say unto you all: Free yourselves with the knowledge of the truth. For I know that this testimony I bring is new to your ears, and against the teachings of your understanding: but I speak according to Scripture: not with my own interpretation: but with the mind of common sense. I have taken none of the Scriptures out of context, neither have I twisted any. I have not devised my own interpretation: nor do I carry the smell of a cult. Men use those words against me; yet, show no evidence where I am wrong according to Scripture. Men quote scriptures without knowing the meaning: even without understanding. Even these are the minds of the wicked, which in their simple minds hear me not. But I am not sent to the simple-minded: but to those who seek wisdom in the knowledge of life. I speak to those who know the truth in their heart, that they might believe the truth in their mind. For as it is written: “The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going” (Proverbs 14:15): so be it. So to you who rage war against me, and is confident that I am delusional: I say this as it is so written: “A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident” (Proverbs 14:16). Yea I speak according to Scripture, because I cannot bring anything greater. I am not sent to teach you new things that are not written; but the things that are written which are new to your ears because you have been freed from the clouds that eclipse truth. I am sent to reveal the secrets and mysteries that surround the gospel of Christ, so men might understand the world in which they live: seeing things in the spiritual realm. I am sent from On High: so I do not speak with opinions: because there is no opinion to the truth. Brethren: Those who put their trust in the eyes of flesh shall find damnation in the end. For they seek a sign for the eyes of flesh to believe: but the sign of the Lord is seen in spirit and not flesh. For what sign can be greater than one who preach according to every word of Jesus Christ himself, which is the perfect testimony? For Jesus came, and rose, and gave prophecy to the end of days: so what new prophecy can a man reveal? Surely, the book of Revelation has foretold all things. We who are set free as true ministers of God reveal the secrets and mysteries of the Scriptures, that you who are set free to give an ear might hear the knowledge of life, and receive the gift of God. We are your brethren and your fellow servants: sent down from the throne of Christ to lift you up to your rightful place. All Praise and Glory be to the Almighty God and the Holy One of Israel. Amen, and Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD                                                            THE WICKED                                                      SEPTEMBER 28, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the armor of God, which is my protection from the venomous darts of the wicked. May the Most High God: the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: the Rock of Israel: bless and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us all from falling into the pit that has been dug by the wicked. Beloved sons of Israel and all who are called to the commonwealth of Israel to stand among us as true saints of Christ: Hear me, I pray: Let there be no friendship between us and the wicked. For as it is written: “Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods” (Exodus 23:32): so let it be. For it was commanded unto us in the beginning, even when we were Jacob, saying: “AND Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan” (Genesis 28:1). Surely we know that the Canaanites were wicked as their children are wicked today: whose sanctuary is Christianity, which if the truth be known is Christian Satanism. So I say unto you today as Moses said unto you yesterday: “Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins” (Numbers 16:26). For what difference is today from the ancient of days, except, modern times? For has Israel not become as it was when our fathers turned away from the commandments of their God to serve the gods of the heathens? Should we not all be in prayer for forgiveness: for we all have sinned with our fathers of old, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedness. I pray to the Father for forgiveness: and praise Him for His tender mercy: and honor Him for His redemption. For we were all brought from out of a wicked seed save one, which is the Holy One of Israel, whom we know as Christ. So let us pray today as we must pray every day, in the morning, and at noon, and at night. Hear my prayer O Lord, and receive my praise of your Name, as I recite these words of your faithful servant David. So let us open up our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Psalm 106:1- 48: and let us Read and Hear as it is written in the Authorized King James Version, which is the only un-tampered version of the Holy Bible: “PRAISE ye the LORD, O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance. We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea. Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left. Then believed they his words, they sang his praise. They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD. The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 106:1- 48). Beloved of Israel: I pray you have heard every word that was spoken. If not, I pray you read them again. For those words of David stand even unto this day as all that is written stand even unto this day. For is Israel not in the hand of the heathen: and do not those who hate us have rule over us? Is the government of America not our enemy? Has this country not oppressed us: and have we not been brought into subjection under her hand? Indeed: we have mingled among the heathens and learned their works, to serve their idols, which are a snare to us, which is why many have assimilated into the culture of the Great Whore. We have sacrificed our sons and daughters unto devils, by condoning their homosexual lifestyle and the fornication of their ways, that even now our Lord is abhorred by His own inheritance. For do the Lord not look upon us and see wickedness from within? So let us separate ourselves from all manner of wickedness, and from the people that bow down to it. For time is at hand: so let the righteous come out from among the wicked: for the wrath of the Lord do come without mercy for the wicked. Let us therefore seek repentance and forgiveness, that we may receive the tender mercies of our God. For we are not born innocent: but are guilty of the past. And if we are guilty in the past, then we are guilty in the present, because the past is the present. So we all must repent: for we all have sinned and come short of God’s glory. So let us pray to our Father which art in heaven, that, we baptized in the Spirit of Truth, which is now before us. For the Lord our God is indeed a jealous God; whose name is even known as Jealous (Exodus 34:14). So destroy your altars, and dismantle your images, and break in pieces your idols. For there is only one Lord: and one faith: and one baptism: which is the one way of Jesus Christ. Let no Falsehood be brought into the purity of his Truth, which are the things contrary to the testimony at hand. For I bring a sign that men might know my Spirit, which is the sign of my Sprit, which is Truth. And if I speak the truth, know the truth and believe. For there be many saying I speak a lie; yet they show no Scripture where my words are contrary to the words of Jesus Christ; even contrary to that which is written. So who are these people that speak against me, but souls of the wicked. So to you who call yourself Rabbi Jehu Crowdy: and to you who sit among his congregation in the ignorance of not knowing the Holy Ghost; and in the foolishness to turn away from the teachings of the prophet Crowdy, who built your house: How wicked are you? Are you not more wicked than the heathen? Indeed you are lower than the heathen. For you are as the synagogue of Satan: calling yourself the Church of God and Saints of Christ; yet giving no honor to Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Thus, judgment shall reign down upon you all without mercy; as the judgment that befell the company of Dathan and Abiram: for as the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up; so shall the earth swallow the Temple Beth-El into the pit of damnation: and all that worshipped therein shall be burned with the flame of hell fire as all that is wicked shall be burned with the flame of hell fire. Repent I pray, that you be not swallowed up into perdition. Repent I pray, that you be not as the wickedness of your fathers, but as the righteousness of pure saints. For I came from out of you as a child of flesh: are you not then worthy to receive the glory of God if you repent to be born again as I repented to be born again? I pray for you O Temple Beth-El: for in your house sit my beloved grandmother and grandfather: even an aunt, and an uncle, and cousins of mine. And though I will cry tears if they come not from out of your place: I will not pity them: but turn my back even to them. For the hour will come, when a righteous man must turn his back to a loved one that has been counted among the wicked. I pray therefore that all my loved ones come from out of the Temple Beth-El before its judgment is set. Now to Bishop Grant Jr.: and to you who sit among his congregation: Though you confess the name of Christ and adhere to the teachings of the prophet Crowdy: in your ignorance you have turned away the messenger sent from above: and in your foolishness distanced yourself from him. Are you not also among the wicked? Indeed you have made yourself to be counted among the wicked. For I am of your own blood, and from among your own seed, and raised in your own house; yet I am made a stranger among you. So be it then: for I shall not hold my peace towards you: because the third seal is nigh: and the arrows of Christ shall be sent. So with the power that is invested in me by the Lord Jesus Christ, I pass this judgment upon you all: It shall come to pass that whereas your place was sweet, it shall stink with the smell of stupidity: and whereas your hair was plentiful, you shall become bald; because worry and fear shall traumatized you every second of every minute of every day. And there shall be no one found to help you. Thus I say repent: For I have not come before you without Jesus Christ; neither without the prophet Crowdy; nor with the words of my own understanding: but with the doctrine of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. How then can you say the Lord has not sent me and be righteous still? Repent I pray, that you become not as the tribe of Dan and Ephraim. Repent I pray, that your crown be not removed by the right hand of God. Repent I pray: for it is foolishness for you who have been so faithful for so many years to now become desolate in the hour that salvation is at hand. Repent I pray: that you be not found among those that are written in St. Matthew 7:22-23. Repent I pray: for I love you dearer than them all. Now to the Christians of Hebrew blood: Be that you know and believe that you are Jews: and that the land of Israel is in the hand of the Great Whore: and that the children of Israel are under the subjection of the Gentiles. Let not one of you be snared to believe that the land of Israel can be found in any other place than in the land of America. For I tell you what I know: I pray you believe as I believe. For my knowledge come not from my own thoughts: but from the Spirit On High. For we O children of Israel are set in another place, to re-live the ancient of days, which is a place that was unknown to our fathers, and is the center of the earth. For do you not know that the Old Testament was given with the knowledge that the New Testament would be given: and that the New Testament was given with the knowledge that the Lamb’s book of life would be given? Indeed, neither is an afterthought of the Lord: for the Old Testament prophesied of the New: and the New Testament prophesied of the Lamb’s book of life. The secret of a mystery is that the land of America known among the Gentiles as the New World (the promised land for the worshippers of Satan), but is the center of the earth, and the place we have been gathered to re-live the ancient of days, is the land of Israel in captivity. For the Lord has set us to be redeemed: and has gathered us from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south. And if we are gathered from those places, what then is our destination on the earth, but the center of the earth? I speak these words for the sake of the new ear, that, they might hear and understand that which is new to them. And believe me not: but believe in the word of God with the understanding that is common sense among the children of God. For it is written: “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south” (Psalm 107:3). Indeed a man might have a different understanding and interpretation: but I tell you what I know: and I pray you believe. For if our Lord came the first time when Israel was under the subjection of Rome: surely the Second Advent, which is his vengeance, come when Israel is under the subjection of Rome. For is his vengeance not upon the wicked of Rome: even the wicked of Israel? And was not Rome the world power in his coming? Who now is the world power? Is it not America? Is the Greco-Roman emperor that stood in the ancient of days not standing as the President of America in the modern of days? Is America not the modern day Roman Empire? I have told you what I know is the truth: I pray you believe on what I know. Now to the gentiles in Christ: Be that you know and believe that the doctrine we bring is the true worship of the Almighty God. So repent of your ways, that you do not serve the idols of the Gentiles, which is the crucifix, and their symbols. Repent: and be defiled no more in the whoring of their inventions. Repent I pray, that you be not subject to the wrath of God, which come without mercy upon every soul of the wicked. Be not a fool in your ignorance: for the wicked are prey for the evil ones when the righteous are taken in the rapture. For do you not know that evil shall slay the wicked? For it is written indeed: “Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate” (Psalm 34:21). So even the wicked are separated from the evil ones: for the wicked are fools in their ignorance: but the evil ones know their purpose. The wicked are reserved for the day of destruction (Job 21:30): and the evil ones are their destruction. Who then are the wicked? Are they not as it is written: “Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power? Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. They send forth their little ones like a flock, and take their children dance. They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ. They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways” (Job 21:7-14). Those are the souls of the wicked: who accuse us as being wicked, when we speak with the mouth of God. Brethren: How can a man speak against this doctrine that we bring, and not be counted among the wicked? For we give our testimony with the mouth of God: standing on the foundation of the prophets and apostles with every word that came directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. Yet, we stand accused of being wicked by the wicked. I tell you the truth: The wicked are those that take the words of another over the words of Jesus Christ: even those who take part of Christ testimony and present it as the whole testimony. I tell you the truth: The wicked are those who worship in vain: and whose answers are falsehood. I tell you the truth: the wicked are those who are habitual liars: even those who gossip. I tell you the truth: The wicked are those who backstab: and sleep with another man’s wife. I tell you the truth: The wicked are thieves: even busybodies. I tell you the truth: The wicked are those who cheat: and are selfish: and greedy. I tell you the truth: The wicked are keepers of iniquity: whose works are all manner of transgression and unrighteousness: even the ignorance of foolishness. I tell you the truth: The wicked are many in prosperity: even in the comfort of safety. Let us not envy their prosperity, nor the safety of their appearance: for time is at hand: and their destruction is nigh. So as they swallow in their pride, believing that which is a lie, we pity them not. For they are stubborn and hardheaded fools: knowing only the way of wickedness. So be it then, that, the wicked shall fall by its own wickedness. For they are sent with a strong delusion to believe a lie: because they are the reincarnation of fools: guided by the lust and pleasures of the world. Who can save them? For they are prey without a savior, that they be meat for the evil ones in the hour of the great famine. Who can save them? For they cannot know God to believe on God, that they might be saved. So let us pity them not: even if one appears as our father, or mother, or sister, or brother, or wife, or husband, or friend. For if they be among the wicked, then they cannot be our father, or mother, or sister, or brother, or wife, or husband, or friend. So be not snared by sympathy; neither by the softness of heart. For the wicked shall seek your sympathy; and shall seek to overcome you by the nature of your love in flesh. Be therefore above the flesh in all things: for wisdom, which is the spirit, is indeed greater than love, which is the flesh. Brethren: there are some among us that will be snared by their pity and sympathy for the wicked. And the wicked shall laugh at them when they are counted among the wicked: But the evil ones shall laugh at the wicked when their time is up: And the righteous shall laugh at the wicked and the evil ones when their judgment is set. For the fool is the wicked: and the evil one is the devil: and the righteous are of God. So we who are the righteous ones shall have the last laugh, which is an everlasting laugh. And though we are subject to scorn at this time: and deaf ears: we speak these words in unison: “Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth” (Psalm 96:13). Beloved sons of Israel: the wicked desire the net of evil men (Proverbs 12:12): how foolish then is the wicked? Yea for sure, the evil ones know that we speak the truth and is preparing themselves for that great day of the Lord: But the wicked know us not and believe us not to be fools of prey for the hunger and thirst of the evil ones. For when the righteous are sealed in God after enduring their tribulation, which are the days of the fifth seal, which is known as the patience of saints: the evil ones shall hunt the wicked. And they shall eat their flesh for meat in their belly: and drink their blood to quench their thirst. Yea for sure: the President and a Pope shall lead the evil ones, whose hand shall be against their own servants. For when the patience of saints is fulfilled; and the righteous are sealed from all plagues; the sixth seal of the Lamb’s book of life shall be loosen; and anarchy shall cover all the earth. And the seventh seal shall be loosened quickly: and the final seven trumpets of Judgment shall sound. And in those days shall an evil army of two hundred million men (Revelation 9:16) from the east part of the earth slay the wicked in their path to Armageddon, which is known on the earth as the boundary of New York. These shall be the kings of the many nations that are allies of the Great Whore: and they are Europeans, and Asians, and Arabs, and Africans. And they shall slay their own servants in their march across the dried up waters of the Atlantic. And the ten evil heads (Revelation 17:12-13) of this thing called Homeland Security shall gather together an army of psychotic convicts: and they slay the wicked of New York City, which is known spiritually as Babylon. And the wicked shall slay even the wicked: for the cities of America except for New York and the District of Columbia shall be abandoned by the evil hand of the President and the Pope, that vigilantes fight against vigilantes in their streets. And the two great beasts that stood up in the earth, speaking great things against the Almighty God, who is a President and a Pope in the eyes of men, shall turn their evil to slay the wicked of their city. For they thirst for blood and hunger to kill: because such is the nature of a beast. Brethren of mine: Those who are not ashamed to confess my name before men: I leave you all this Sabbath in these words: “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen” (Romans 16:17-20). DISCUSSION BOARD                                                   THE KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE                                                      SEPTEMBER 21, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee: I am well in the knowledge of life. May the Almighty God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed in the wisdom of His knowledge. To my beloved friend and wife Brenda: Greetings in the love and truth of the Lord our God: May your family and the saints in the Philippines be blessed in the glory that is Christ Jesus. To my beloved friend and son Pedro Flores: Greetings in the love and truth of Jesus Christ: May you be blessed to fulfill the dreams of righteousness that your seat be not removed from among the congregation of the Lord. To my beloved friend and daughter Joanna Flores: Greetings in the love and truth of Jesus Christ: May the Lord continue to add His blessings upon you: and may He continue to shine His face upon Justin and Jasmine, to bless them, and to keep them, in the bosom of His love. To my beloved friend and son Juan Queddeng: Greetings in the love and truth of Jesus Christ: May the Lord add blessings upon you and your family all the days of your life. To my beloved friend and apostle Ysmael: Greetings to you and your family: and to all the saints of your congregation. I pray that men know when your voice is heard in the word of God that they have heard an angel of the Lord: even seen the visitation of Christ spirit. To my beloved friend and brother Anthony Lea: called to the apostleship of truth: Greetings to you and your family in the blessings of the Almighty God. To my beloved friend and brother Keith A. Williams: called to the apostleship of truth: Greetings to you and your family in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. To my beloved friend and sister Yvette Martin: called to the assembly of saints: Greetings to you and your family in the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. To my beloved friend and sister Shelore Fisher: called to the assembly of saints: Greetings to you and your family in the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. To all my beloved brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: called to have their names written in the Lamb’s book of life: Greetings in the purity and holiness of Christ love. Dear children of the Lord: As we walk in the gift of life with the knowledge of life: let us give praise and songs to the Lord our God: even to our Father Jesus Christ. For what knowledge of life can we bear if we do not know that Christ Jesus is even our Father, as the Almighty God is our Father. This wisdom shall some understand: and others shall not. But as in all things of my testimony, the truth has been spoken. Beloved: he that has knowledge has understanding: and he that has understanding has life. So can we believe what we do not know? Nay: for knowing comes before believing: but believing is greater than knowing. For unless I believe in what I know, I know nothing. And unless I know first, I might believe a lie. So in seeking the knowledge of life, let a man first learn the truth, that he may know what to believe. For to believe on God is not to know God: neither to believe on the name of Jesus is to know Jesus. Many believe without knowing: thinking that believing shall bring knowledge. But such is the understanding of fools. For these are the words of Jesus Christ: "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" (St. Matthew 7:21-23). These people believed on the name of Jesus Christ, but did not know the truth of Jesus Christ, to receive the knowledge of God. So what was their works, but vain worship, which is sin. Here is wisdom: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7). A man does not fear the Lord because of belief: but, because, of knowing that the Lord is Almighty. And if the beginning of knowledge is the fear of the Lord, how then can we receive knowledge without the Almighty God, who is the God of knowledge (I Samuel 2:3)? So be not persuaded of the knowledge from the sons of men: for such is vain babblings. But we come as sons of God with the knowledge of God; handed down from our Lord Jesus Christ; as it is written among the Holy Scriptures; even in the Lamb’s book of life from the foundation of the world. And we seek not your approval: but make claim to our rightful place. For as it is written in I Peter, saying, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time" (I Peter 1:3-5): so be it. Those who receive us know us: not by our flesh: but by the knowledge of our words. For unless the true name of Jesus Christ is upon us: we cannot receive the knowledge of life, which is the salvation of God. Beloved: We cannot receive the knowledge of life without first knowing the way of life. The Almighty God sent down His only begotten Son, that we might know the way to life and believe. For to know is one thing: but to believe is another. We speak what we know: but if we do not practice what we know, how then can we say that we believe? And if we say we believe on the Lord, and not know the way of the Lord, what then is our belief, but the guidance of a fool. Verily, we must know first; then believe on what we know: for if we believe not, then we know not. Knowing shall point a man in the right direction: but believing shall protect a man on his journey up the path to the gates of heaven. For I know that heaven awaits: but I must believe to prevail over the things of flesh which cast doubt, and burdens, and trials, and tribulations, and temptation, in my journey to endure the patience of a saint, which is the trial of our faith. Indeed: it is the heart that knows; but it is the mind that must believe. Now if a man be confused; let him find understanding in these words of Jesus Christ: "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" (St. John 3:11-12). My friends: the knowledge of life is every word of Jesus Christ. We are blessed in his knowledge and resurrected in his life to give testimony to his truth. Those who hear us know the truth: those who follow in our footsteps believe in what they know. Verily it be certain: Unless a man believe in what he know he shall not prevail. For though a man might know that we speak the truth: if he believe not to repent of his ways: what then shall be his end? Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Proverbs 2:1-22: and let us Read and Hear: "MY son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the easy of darkness; Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; Which forsake the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it". Do I need to speak any thing else this Sabbath? Nay: for if you have heard those words written in the book of Proverbs, then you have learned the knowledge of life. Now of the things I have spoken this Sabbath; this is the sum: "For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it" (Ecclesiastes 7:12). Amen, and Amen. THE SPIRIT OF FEAR SEPTEMBER 14, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well: not in the spirit of fear: but in the fear of God only. May the Lord our God the Rock of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed in the holiness of His habitation. Beloved children of the holy sanctuary: Let us reach out our hands to our brothers and sisters that they might receive the spirit that is in us, which is not the spirit of fear, but the spirit of the anointed: who bear no fear of man, nor beast, but the Lord God only. Let us gather the weak that seek strength, and the coward that seek courage, that they might be found worthy at the hour of Christ visitation. Yea we speak aloud, and in unison, unto the ear of every man, saying, "In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me" (Psalm 56:11). What then is there to fear? We fear not: not even fear itself. For we know that God has not given His adopted children the spirit of fear; but the spirit of power to overcome our sinful nature as an existence of flesh: and the spirit to love even our enemies: and the spirit of a sound mind in the knowledge of life. For we are a holy people called from On High, and sent from above, in the spirit of the prophets and apostles, to give our testimony for Jesus Christ before the eyes and ears of the beast, whom the earth know as the President, and as the Pontiff, but are beasts in the form of a man. We fear them not; nor the soldiers of their government; neither the agents of their calling, whom the earth know as the FBI and the CIA. We fear them not: but speak our mind openly, and without shame. Let no man, nor woman, neither any child, that enter into this place be ashamed to confess our name before men: Neither let not any be ashamed to reveal their name before the onlookers of this assembly, which are many with the eyes and ears of the beast. How worthy then is Melvin M. Lusterio, who announced his name and the names of his family openly before the eyes and ears of the beast, that his family be blessed to receive their place in the paradise of Christ? Is he and his family not blessed to be greeted by the presence of our Lord in the kingdom of heaven? Indeed, they are all blessed to be saved in the seal of God: even as the many others that have made their names known. So fear not to disguise your name: but reveal your name openly. For do you not know that a false name; neither a nickname will enter into the book of life? He that is ashamed to make himself known before men under his own name as one of us is a prisoner to the spirit of fear. How then can he be freed when the truth shall set you free, and the truth is without the spirit of fear? So we fear nothing, but the Lord our God, which is our reverent fear. We are not afraid of those who threaten our lives: and those who have the power to lock us in their jails: and power to harm our flesh and kill our body. We fear them not: for death to us is a death that we might live, as our Lord and Master Jesus Christ do live. For as it is written: "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world" (I John 4:17): so is it. For as Christ is, so are we in this world. For we have overcome the world, by overcoming the sinful nature of our flesh, to walk without sin, and without the spirit of fear, that we appear as the similitude of our Lord. So to you we say, Fear not: but trust in the Lord: and believe on the things to come. For righteous souls shall prevail: but the weak of flesh shall fall without help. Dear children: The spirit of fear cast doubt, removes confidence, and destroys sound decision-making. The spirit of fear exists from the weakness of flesh. It is a feeling and a thought that one must overcome in human flesh through their trust in the Lord. Many say they trust in the Lord, but when they are put to the test, they fail, because they allow the eyes of their flesh to guide them, whose eyes trust in the things that are, and not the things that will be. God is in all things: but His end is the things that will be. How can a man say he trust in the Lord and fear his life without a job? Do he not know that God will cast no burden upon those He love more than they can bear? Does God not know how much a man can bear? Indeed every man is an individual, so some are stronger in areas than others. But where there is weakness and faults in one, there can also be found strength and greatness. And where there is strength and greatness in one, there can also be found weakness and faults. It is the grace of God that preserves us; and it is His truth that guides us. But it is our trust in the Lord that gives birth to the Spirit of grace and truth, that, we may walk without the spirit of fear, but in the spirit of Christ. Beloved: let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to II Timothy 1:7-14: and let us Read and Hear: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou has heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us". Fear not: neither be ashamed. For what are the words of our Lord and Master, whom we serve with a diligent heart, being mindful of our pure conscious. For did he not say, "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom" (St. Luke 12:32). And did he not say: "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels" (St. Mark 8:38). Is this country that is known as America not an adulterous and sinful generation? Is it not a society where whoredom and homosexuality is the norm? Do you not know that every time a man say, "God bless America"; he speak blasphemy? Will God bless a nation whose government is built on the laws of Satan? Will God bless a country that condones and promotes homosexuality? Look at the many transgressions of America: for I even see weekly television shows for the homosexual lifestyle, which is set-up for their comfort, and to influence the vulnerable youth. Dear children: you who are lost in the woods of the Great Whore: and you who array yourselves so proudly in the stars and stripes of the red, white, and blue; which are the colors of the Great Whore. Do you not know that you cannot serve America and Christ too? Choose then: Are you of God: or do you serve the spirit of fear, which is the fear of them that can harm the body? Surely there is none true in Christ that fear what men can do to them. Surely there is none true in Christ that covets the lifestyle of America. Beloved: I have seen many righteous hearts fall to the spirit of fear: whether for fear of his prisons, or of the pain he might inflict, many have bowed to the beast. Even out of the fear of being fired from their job, or being laid off, have many fallen to the beast. Even out of the fear of bankruptcy, and poverty, have many fallen to the beast. Are they not without the faith of the Son of man? For it is written: "And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you" (St. Luke 12:29-31). Indeed: if you can live in flesh without seeking what you shall eat, or drink, or being of a doubtful mind: you have verily overcome the spirit of fear: and is perfect in the love of God. For it is written: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love" (I John 4:18). Yea for sure: If a man fear what man or beast can do to him, how then can he love God, when he do not trust God? If a man is perfect in his love, then out of his love do he put his trust in the Lord, to fear none but the Lord. So fear none of the things that bring suffering to the flesh. For what is the word of Jesus Christ when he spoke from On High: "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life" (Revelation 2:10). Do we not trust in the word of God? So cast out the spirit of fear and overcome the sinfulness of your nature as an existence of flesh that you may be found perfect in love: trusting in every word of the Lord with diligent patience. For we who are true in the sainthood of Christ fear nothing in flesh: not heavy burdens, nor any torture, neither any death. Moreover, we do not mourn over the death of our friends: for why should we mourn for our friends when their death is life? When we who are saints of Christ die in this flesh, we celebrate our pure life in the kingdom of heaven. So why should we mourn over the death of our friends when the death of our friends is a seat beside Christ himself? Here is wisdom: The mourning at funerals is the tradition of sinners: for the death of sinners is everlasting hell: so their mourning is for the sinner that is about to suffer eternal damnation. This rite is the indoctrination from the freed spirits of hell, who mourn over the death of their colleagues, because they are returning to perdition. This conduct of mourning at funerals in black attire, which represents darkness and not life, is the indoctrination from the spirit of fear, which is set forth upon the earth by the devil as the norm, that men might fear death in this life. But I tell you this is not so among the saints: for if any man should mourn over a saint in his death, he has not received the glory of God. For why should a man mourn over us, when our death is life? So when I pass away: be that your tears be those of joy. For my death and the death of my friends is a time to celebrate the birth of our new life, which is before the throne of our Christ, in the kingdom of heaven. So let their be a burial for us, but no funeral: For when we pass away: be that you party and not cry. For we are not dead, but alive, to receive a new flesh in the world to come. So we fear no death, but the death that comes by the hand of God Almighty. For any other death is an illusion: and a sacrifice for a new life. Dear children: before I leave you this Sabbath let every one of you partake of the Holy Communion. Let every man, woman, and child, take up a piece of unleavened bread and a cup of water, saying, "I take this bread and water for the body and blood of Christ". And let the words of Jesus Christ himself be read: "For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward" (St. Mark 9:41). Amen. Beloved: of the things I have spoken this Sabbath: this is the sum: "In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me" (Psalm 56:4). And let the people say, Amen. Selah. DISCUSSION BOARD GRACE & TRUTH PART TWO SEPTEMBER 7, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the grace and truth of our Lord Jesus Christ. May the Holy One of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be preserved in the bosom of His grace and truth forever. To my friend and brother Ysmael: the resurrection of the disciple whom Jesus loved (St. John 21:7): I send Prayers and Blessings to you and your family always: and to all among your congregation: for preserved in holiness are every one of you in the grace and truth of our Lord. To the newly written names into the Lamb’s book of life: those you have seen and those you have not: the grace of Christ is upon you all because the truth of Christ is in you all. Let it be as it is written: “Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever” (Psalm 146:5-6). Even as it is written: “The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them” (Psalm 145:18-19): let it be so. Beloved saints of Christ: As we sit among the assembly of the Most High, in the praise and worship of His grace and truth; unlike the many hypocrites who sit in darkness, and unlike those who speak vanity; whose right hand is falsehood; and whose left hand is wickedness: we serve the right hand of truth, giving praise and worship to the God whose greatness is un-searchable. For the Lord our God is high above the earth and the heavens: a God who is gracious and full of compassion; a God who is good to all; and whose tender mercies are over all His works as it is written in the book of Psalms. Praise be the Lord our God, the Holy One of Israel, whose Light is the glory of His Holy City, which shall descend from out of a new heaven to stand as Mount Zion upon a new earth, that the angels in heaven may walk upon the earth in flesh as they walk in heaven: knowing only the way of righteousness and true holiness in the perfection of Christ our Lord and Savior. We who are the saints of Christ give glory to the kingdom of our God: blessing His Holy Name forever and ever: and preaching His power to all men, that they might learn of His mighty acts, and believe in the majesty of His kingdom. This thing we do in our love for the Father: and in our labor for His Christ. For are we not saints from ancient days: preserved in the Lord? Indeed it is written: so please let it be: “The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy” (Psalm 145:20). I pray you be not found among that number, whose way is contrary to the Lamb’s book of life, and whose way is the art of falsehood. Dear children: Be not as the hand of strange children in the eyes of the Lord; or as the hand of disobedience. For the Almighty God has set His sights upon the righteous, to deliver them from out of the clouds of darkness, by the grace and truth that is Christ. For we were fools once; found among the children of disobedience and serving the right hand of falsehood: But in His loving mercy, we were redeemed by the sincerity of our hearts, that our wounds be healed, and our spots cleansed, and our wrinkles pressed. All these blessings came by Jesus Christ, who led the way for righteous men to live righteous lives in sinful flesh, that our adversary the devil find no influence upon us: and that no race be omitted from the communion of his grace. Indeed I speak as it is written: “My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever” (Psalm 145:21). Indeed, I will forever give praise and blessings to my God, and glory to His Name, and honor to His Son. For He is my God, even as He is our God: for He is given to all and for all. So repent while you have the time: and receive the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. For we who are called into his holy sanctuary, give prayer, saying, as it is written: “Send thine hand from above: rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood” (Psalm 144:7-8). Surely we can speak nothing new, but that which is already written. Surely we can give nothing new, but that which is already given. For we are not the beginning, neither are we the end. But we were with him in the beginning: and we shall be with him in the end. Dear children upon the earth: from youth to elder: let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to I Peter 5: 1-11: and let us Read and Hear: “THE elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” I pray you have read and heard those words, that, both young and old eat from the fruit of grace, to receive the blessing of truth, which is the gift of God. For the things of the world are a stumbling-block, set in your path by your adversary the devil, that you might fall from grace into the infidelity of the world, to be as the sinners, and as the servants of falsehood. I pray for you all, that all flesh bless the Holy Name of the Lord. For when there is no one else, there is always the Lord. The heavens and the earth shall pass away, but the word of the Lord endures forever. Be not snared by the influences of falsehood; neither seduced by the pleasures of flesh. But know that the sacrifices you make for the love of God will not be in vain. For he that takes up the pot of gold in this world will lose it tomorrow: but he that waits for his pot of gold in the hope of Jesus Christ shall receive a fortune that is everlasting. For we know that though our Lord was rich, he made himself poor for our sakes, that we through his poverty would become rich if we kept the grace and truth of his name. So even as I am poor in salary, I appear before men as rich. For I am made rich not by salary: but by the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. Dear children: In the grace and truth that is Jesus Christ: I leave you this Sabbath with these words from the book of David: “PRAISE ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word: Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord” (Psalm 148:1-14). Amen, and Amen. DISCUSSON BOARD GRACE & TRUTH PART ONE AUGUST 31, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the grace and truth that is Jesus Christ. May the Holy One of Israel heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all partake in the paradise of his calling. Beloved children of the Lord: The weakness of a man is not measured by his feelings, neither by his thoughts; but by the things he do. For if a man fall from grace, he has not fell because of his feelings, neither because of his thoughts, but because of his actions. We shall be judged in the end by our actions: not by our feelings, nor by our thoughts, neither by our words. For the feelings of some is misleading: and the thoughts of some are confusion: and the words of some is a sign of weakness. But weakness before the eyes of the Lord is not enduring your trials and tribulations to the end. Weakness is fainting in your labor for the Lord, which is to quit before the end: and to succumb to the desires of flesh. Indeed by a man’s words is he both justified and condemned: justified because his words is the truth: condemned because of the sinful action of his words. So sin not: though you might be tempted in your words, and feelings, and thoughts. But be of sound mind and a sincere heart: and the Lord shall keep you from falling and will present you faultless before the presence of his glory. My fellow brothers and sisters in Christ: I am tempted above you all, because I stand as an example of Christ image and likeness. Verily, the lovers of this world hate me: because I have taken away their comfort in sin, and revealed their hypocrisy, and exposed their falsehood. So they have summoned the angels from hell to manifest themselves into flesh, that, they might appear before the upright and righteous as sirens. Some appear as virgins, and as the naive: pretending to be innocent and a friend: but is a calculating mind of seduction: and the confines of a whore. Looking to sway a good man from the servitude of righteousness, that they might mount his soul on their mantel. To them I say this: Repent: for you are seen and known by us even as we show you not. Repent! For even if a righteous man is swayed, to fall victim to his weakness as an existence of flesh: the Lord in His tender mercy shall keep him from falling because of the spirit of His grace that is poured upon him by the truth of Jesus Christ. Brethren: The temptation that we face come not from God, but from Satan. For we are at war: and her only weapon against us is the pleasures of human flesh. So fall not out of grace. For if we fall from grace, how then can we be justified? What then shall be our ministry, but another of the many wannabees. So let us pray to the Father always, that we be found in His faithfulness always: for the Father shall not suffer His faithfulness to fail (Psalm 89:33). Hence, by our faithfulness are we given the spirit of grace, to be born of God, that no sin be found in us, and that no temptation overcome us. For many good men have indeed fallen by the wayside: being victims to the snare of the devil. This thing I say then: know your weakness as an existence of flesh. For knowing your weakness allows you to be aware of the manner in which the snare of the devil shall come to attempt to make you fall from grace: because the weakness of our flesh is the devil’s strength. With that knowledge come the wisdom to recognize and the strength to overcome the person or thing sent by the devil. But know this: even if a person be led by the spirit of mischief: there is a good spirit also in that flesh. It is our duty to make an effort to save that soul. But if the ear is closed: then the soul is dead. And no life can be given to it: because it cannot receive the truth of Jesus Christ: how then can it receive the grace of Christ? To all who seek to be saved from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the earth: I pray you take up the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. For some give testimony, saying, "I am saved, because the Lord has brought me out of tribulation". Yet they worship God in spirit but not in truth: so how are they saved? Are they not saved from their tribulations so that they might be brought into this place to be saved in the seal of God? I tell you no lie: There is no God but He that has sent me. He that has given me the shield of His salvation: and whose right hand has kept me up: and whose mercy has made me great. It is the grace and truth of His Christ by which I have life. For I was dead and void of life: being a servant to the death of sin. But by the love of our Father, I am renewed by the spirit of grace and truth, that I become a new creature in the likeness of Jesus Christ. And now, my brethren, that I have received the new man, as you have received the new man, we are a target always for the minions of Satan, that by their thorns and thistles, we might fall from grace, even as we uphold truth. But what influence can our truth hold if our body is in sin? Indeed the truth of our words will only be the sound of a hypocrite: so what truth can be in us if we walk in sin, but vain words. Dear children of the Lord: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Psalms 86:1-13: and let us Read and Hear: "BOW down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou has delivered my soul from the lowest hell". If the soul of David was delivered from the lowest hell, will not our souls also be delivered from the clutches of Satan by the grace and truth of Christ? Was not the grace and truth of Christ, even present with David? For it is surely written in the book of Psalms: "Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David" (Psalm 89:27-35). Is that not the grace and truth of Christ? Now, let us continue to Read and Hear what is written in Psalms 86:14-17: "O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me". Brethren: We know that grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (St. John 1:17). So what was the grace received by Noah (Genesis 6:8)? Indeed the grace of our Lord was in the beginning: and His truth (Deuteronomy 32:4). So why were men confounded by the words of Jesus, when he called God is Father? Why was this blasphemy to some? It is clear that many who profess to know Scripture, know it not. Many who profess to be ministers and men of the cloth are guided by ignorance and lost in darkness. Even as Jesus came before men in grace and truth, so are we also before them. And as Jesus was denied his place; so are we also: as men testify that we have taken the Scriptures out of context. But common sense rules the mind of an upright and holy man. For we who are called in the true name of Jesus Christ, read and hear the Scriptures in the Spirit in which they were written: so what was the blasphemy of a man to call God his Father? Is it not written: "He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation" (Psalm 89:26)? Moreover, is it not also written in the fifth book of Moses: "Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?" (Deuteronomy 32:6). So God was called our Father even in the Old Testament: so what knowledgeable man in the Scriptures would call it blasphemy in the New Testament, which is the grace and truth of God manifested in flesh by the presence of Jesus Christ? Even now, as then, Jesus Christ is denied in the grace and truth that is him. Even as he brought nothing new; but an understanding; so have we done the same. Yet, we are hated without a cause: and denied without sense. We are called idiots and followers of a cult. We are called ungodly even in our godliness: and a sinner in our redemption. But their words have no effect on us: but are spoken with a convincing tongue that some might be led away from the assembly of saints. He that is led away, let him be led away: for the members of Christ body cannot be led away. Beloved children of the Most High: I leave you this Sabbath with these words from the book of Psalms: "The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer" (Psalm 19:7-14). Amen, and Amen. DISCUSSION BOARD SAVED August 24, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well among the saved in the Lord. May the Almighty God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed in the Holiness of His Name. To the general assembly of this website: Let us all become saved in the Spirit of Truth: which is the honor and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. For there are indeed many in the earth confessing to be saved, but are not. For to be baptized is not to be saved: unless the baptism is the Spirit and water of the Holy Ghost, which is the water from above the firmament (Genesis 1:7-8). Because the water below the firmament, which is the water of the earth, clean the body: but the water above the firmament clean the mind, that the mind become a follower of the way, and truth, and life that is Christ Jesus. For our Master said unto us, “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (St. John 3:5). Let a man therefore know the mystery behind those words. The water and Spirit is from above. Thus, the one baptism of the Lord is not done from the earth, but from above. How then can you be saved without the water from above, which is the cleansing and purification of the mind? Now if one should say, It is written: When the keeper of the prison asked Paul and Silas what must he do to be saved: they said unto him, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” (Acts 16:31): so what is your meaning Cornelius, when according to Scripture, I only need to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved? I say to that man, or woman, or child, that no one can believe on Jesus Christ without truth. For did he not say, that, “I am the way, the truth, and the life”? Moreover, do we uphold the words of any over Jesus Christ himself? God forbid: for our Lord did so say, “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God”. So adhere not to me, but to the words of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, whom many say they love, but know him not. How then can he be loved? Indeed, one must first know the truth to learn the way and life that is Jesus Christ. For none are saved without the Spirit of truth. But though you might be of spirit and truth, you still might not be saved. For even some of spirit and truth shall fall in the hour of tribulation: even in the hour when the Son of man shall stand in his glory from On High. For what did our Lord Jesus Christ say: “Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom” (St. Matthew 16:28). Indeed: No one is truly saved except those that are born of God. For they cannot taste death: because they are sealed in God. These are those who are resurrected for the regeneration: sent down from the throne of God as angels of righteousness to inhabit sinful flesh, that men might learn the secret of overcoming their sinful flesh. These are those who are from the foundation of the prophets and apostles with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. And they are redeemed from the sinfulness of human flesh, to call all men to be saved by the testimony at hand, which is the perfect testimony of our Lord. Take heed to the voice of truth, that you receive the wisdom to ignore the lies of the devil, and the strength to endure the patience of a saint. For the testimony we give is not our own: but for Jesus Christ in the Spirit of Prophecy. And for sure: many come in his name with the art of deceit. But if a man abides in every word spoken directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ, he cannot be deceived or misled. My fellow brothers and sisters: Let today be a new beginning: for we all are taken from sin. And if I, who was conceived in sin, and who had descended into the lower part of the world where whores and perverts roam in comfort, am lifted up: Do you not know that you also can be lifted up? even the whore and the pervert. Renew the spirit of your mind therefore in the name of righteousness and be lifted up from out of the wages of sin: for all sinners are called into repentance, to be baptized in the Spirit and water of the Holy Ghost. So humble yourselves and submit to the fear of God, to confess the error of your ways to His ear with a sincere heart: and the Father will be merciful and forgiving, to lift you up from out of the path of death and hell, that you be tried with the hour of tribulation, that you might prove yourself worthy to be a saint of Christ. For none can come unto the Lord without sacrifice: and none can come unto the Lord without first being tested as gold is gold; only then shall one be refined as silver is refined, to inherit the kingdom of glory. For the Lord has sent down His angels to gather those that seek repentance, that they might become as us: renewed of spirit by the gift of God, which is the grace of Christ. For by the grace of Christ are we preserved in the likeness of Jesus Christ, to be born of God in the seal of eternal life. To the assembly of this website: Think not that we have come down in this hour of the regeneration of our Lord and his apostles to condemn: for we are not sent to condemn but to save. Those who hear us not have condemned themselves already. So who shall stand at their right hand? For as it is written: “And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin” (Psalm 109:5-7): so shall it be. To the beloved assembly of the Most High: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to St. Luke 1:68-79: and let us Read and Hear: “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace”. Dear children: both Jews and Gentiles in the commonwealth of our Lord: let us all be saved in the only Church of God, which is called to be saints of Christ. We, who are not seduced by the pleasures of this earth, but are called together to receive the portion of our inheritance, and to be appointed the bounds of our habitation: salute you in the true name of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ. For in Christ Jesus are we all saved: whether we be the seed of the European, or the African, or the Latino, or the Asian, or the Indian, or the Arab, or the Jew. For in Christ Jesus are we all made into one blood: that we be joined together in one body, in the unison of righteous and holy servants of God. For the flesh and blood of Christ is verily that of an aboriginal Jew: But flesh and blood cannot save us: It is the flesh and blood of Spirit and Truth: which we have received by the gift of grace through our faith. So even though a man might be the flesh and blood of a Jew: he cannot be saved by his flesh and blood: but by the flesh and blood of Spirit and Truth only. Now to those who are without the Truth of Christ, being Gentiles, and aliens from the commonwealth of Israel: strangers from the covenants of promise, and having no hope in their understanding of God: but have been delivered before this assembly by the grace of our Christ: I speak to your ears as it is so written: “This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:17-32). Take heed to those words I pray: and let all who are called in the sainthood of Christ hearken unto the Spirit of this voice: for I speak with the Spirit of the Holy Scriptures: and as it is written in Ephesians 2:1-10: saying, “AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind: and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them”. So to the assembly of saints: let us recite these words, as it is so written in I Timothy 2:1-6: “I EXHORT therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time”. Beloved: We are not sent to cast down, but to lift up our many brothers and sisters that are lost in the way, if they reach out their hands to us, that they might be saved from the seduction of this world. For the ways of the world is disobedience to the law of our God: let us not be counted among the children of disobedience. For their days shall be few: and full of trouble. Verily, of the things I have preached this Sabbath, this is the sum: “For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of our God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life” (Titus 3:3-7). O Heavenly Father: We who are the children of Israel: saved in the seal that is the salt of the earth: let the nations that are saved know our place at the Lord’s table forever more. For out of your blessings O Lord are we set at the head seat, that, we be the light of civilization for all kingdoms upon the earth in the Messianic Age: and the enforcers of the law whose commandments are God. Keep us, we pray, dear Lord, in the bosom of your embrace: for in your word do we put our trust. O Father, which art in heaven, who is even made higher than the heavens, Hear our prayers dear Lord: and hide not your face from us: neither let our enemies find the strength to rise up against us. For we have learned our lesson, to walk no more as the synagogue of Satan, and as gentiles in Christ: but in the righteousness and true holiness of our heritage, which is the salvation of a Jew. For in the words of David, I say this: “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen” (Psalm 41:13). And in the words of Moses, I say this: “Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places” (Deuteronomy 33:29). Amen, and Amen. Selah. Praise be the Lord our God forever and ever O people of Israel: for by our seed are all men called to be saved. Now as I leave you this Sabbath my brethren: I say this to those who seek to be saved: Whether you be a Jew or Gentile by birth: unless your nature is of an upright and holy Jew in the truth of Jesus Christ, you shall in no wise be saved. Fret not; neither turn a green eye: but humble yourself and submit to those appointed over you. For though there is a king set over you: he is but the first among equals. For in the kingdom of God, every man is a priest. And let the people say, Amen, and Amen. Selah. DISCUSSION BOARD THE SEAL OF GOD AUGUST 17, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the seal of the Almighty God. May our Father which art in heaven heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed in the glory of His Name. Beloved assembly of the Lord: We who stand on the earth before the Most High as saints of His Christ are not without fault. For we were servants of iniquity: and bonded in unclean things. But because of our Father’s love, we are given grace, to be renewed, that we re-dedicate our faith and trust in the Lord. We are made new creatures in Christ: redeemed from fault to be presented without fault. Yea we serve a merciful God, who gave us mercy, even when we deserved it not. For in our ignorance to forsake the commandments of our God in the land that He had bestowed upon us, He gave us mercy, not to remove us from the land He had promised unto our fathers, but to preserve us when our enemies rose up against us to consume us. We were not removed from our land many times over, though we sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes. Yea, because of the multitude of our sins, our Lord hid His face from us for a time, that we be chastised, to fall into captivity and lose the independence of our nation, so we might learn that there is no mercy but the mercy that come from the hand of our God. Even then, we were not forsaken. For the Lord heard our cries: and delivered unto us a Savior. And our shame was not covered up; but washed away with the Spirit and water of the Holy Ghost. Bless it be the Lord our God: the Rock of Israel: For the greatness of His mercy has redeemed us with the blood of His only begotten Son, that we be sealed with the seal of God, which is the blessing to be born of God. For in our faith, which is the faith of the Son of man: and our charity, which is the love of God: and our trust, which is Christ: we are preserved unto the Lord, to be living examples of righteousness before men. So unto the assembly that is called into this place, I say this: Let every man, woman, and child, that call on the name of Christ depart from sin. For is it not written: "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity" (II Timothy 2:19). Thus, no one can be sealed in Christ with sin: because no sin is in him. So rid yourselves of sin, that you may be sealed with the seal of God, which in flesh is immunity from all plagues: and in spirit is eternal life. Indeed, as angels of God manifested in human flesh, we wrestle with the thoughts of sinful flesh, to avoid the act of sin, even the thought of considering sin. For we have set ourselves to overcome the nature of our flesh, that we flee from sin, and the way of lust, because it is our will. Surely one cannot be taken by God if it is not their will: as one cannot be taken by the devil if it is not their will. Every man is taken by the spirit of God or the spirit of the devil because of their own will: those that follow the mind of truth shall be saved: but those that follow the mind of flesh shall be condemned in flesh. Dear children of God: The Lord our God knows our heart, to keep a man of a sincere heart from falling, and to present him faultless before the presence of His glory. Indeed our God is a loving and forgiving God: who will lift up the righteous heart from out of sin, that, he sin no more. But what good is a righteous heart with a senseless mind? Surely that heart shall become as foolish as the mind, to be used as a tool to spread the unrighteousness of Satan upon the earth. Yea for sure, the devil did not make men unrighteous: men made themselves unrighteous with the influence of sinful flesh. Sinful flesh came not by the hand of the devil: but by the will of mankind. And sinful flesh continues in the world; not because of the devil, but because of the will from mankind. Verily, mankind continues to manifest the works of the devil in flesh through the will of their flesh: to murder, rape, ravage, and steal. But these are not the only works of the devil influence: for adultery, and coition outside of marriage, and lying, and backbiting are also of his works: even to gossip and spread rumors. All these things are unclean: and all these things are common thoughts and natural feelings of human flesh. Hence, let us realize the challenge we face in overcoming our human nature, to free ourselves from the way of sin. While many attempt to justify their sins: saying, "It is only a little sin: and God understands". We justify only a righteous end: knowing that the little things are the key things. Let us look upon this earth and see the filth that is rapidly spreading among the youth. Are there not young males living as females: and young females living as males? Has not homosexuality become a chic lifestyle among the youth of society? I tell you no lie: The sins of this world go on and on and many righteous hearts say nothing: even parents in their weakness allow their children to fornicate and folly in homosexuality. How then can these children, even their parents find a place in heaven? Surely, a parent that condones the unrighteousness of their child is guiltier than the child. What righteous parent would allow their child to attend school dressed as the opposite gender? Indeed, this parent is not of God. For they say in their heart, "To each his own". But there is no such thing before the eyes of God: only righteousness and unrighteousness. They say, "Who are you to judge". At one time, I could judge nothing: but now I am a saint: and do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? Repent therefore, both parent and child. And though you might be found standing among the assembly of this website, you are not of the Lord, neither can you be, if your mind do the work of unclean things. Thus be ashamed and repent, to be baptized in the Spirit of Truth, that your mind be cleansed of its thoughts with the water of purification, and your spirit renewed to be sealed with the seal of God. For in the seal of God, we are Christ-like: overcomers of our human flesh: no longer the children of men but the children of God. Thus, we seek only one way, which is the way of God, which are the commandments of His Christ. So we live in flesh for the purpose of avoiding sin; that we be living examples for men to follow. Therefore, be as us, and as it is written: Follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart (II Timothy 2:22). For we are true servants of the Lord: instructing those that oppose themselves, that they may recover from out of the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive by their own will. Indeed, if a man should acknowledge the truth, the truth shall set him free, and he shall enter into repentance to be baptized in the Spirit of Truth, and sealed with the seal that no man can remove, which is the seal of God. Beloved: I pray that every man, woman, and child, partake of this heavenly calling though I know they will not. So be it then: for the Lord know them that are His: and there is nothing done on the earth in secret. For the eye of the Lord is on all, and see all, even the hidden thoughts of infants. So be as you may, and do as you do: for the eye of judgment is at hand: and nigh is the hour when the mercy of God shall depart from the earth that death and hell consume all without the seal of God. And in that hour, men shall cry out for mercy and forgiveness. And those without repentance, that laughed at us, and scorned us, and reviled us, shall suffer the terrible hand of God sevenfold. So to them we laugh: knowing that we have the first and the last laugh. For we put our trust in every word of Jesus Christ: how then can we be left without? Beloved assembly of the Lord: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Isaiah 64:4-12: and let us Read and Hear: "For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?" Indeed it was ignorance to deny Jesus Christ the first time: But it is the stupidity of a fool to deny him the second time, which is the regeneration. So let the reins of judgment be unleashed: and the let the Lord no longer hold His peace. For time is at hand: and the first two seals of the book of life are loosened: and the third seal is loosened at an hour when you expect not. Thus, make your way into the Church of God while you have the time, and wait on the Lord. For a saint is not made worthy by his words, but by his patience, which is his trust in the word of the Lord: believing in the things that he cannot touch with his fleshly hand; neither see with his fleshly eyes. Only then can one be sealed with the seal of God. I leave you therefore this Sabbath in the spirit of these words of David: "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD" (Psalms 27:14). And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. THE CHILDREN OF GOD AUGUST 10, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well among the children of God. May the Holy One of Israel, our Father, heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may we all be blessed with the glory of his presence. To my beloved friend and brother Ysmael: and to the souls of his family and the number among his congregation: All Hail: My love and prayers be with you all. To the apostles beside me: and to the ones to be: All Hail: for time is at hand. To the true followers of Prophet William Saunders Crowdy and the general assembly of saints: All Hail: Blessed is the seed of upright and holy men. Beloved: I come to convince no man of my calling: for he that be of the truth shall hear the voice of truth. So I waste not my testimony upon deaf ears, neither dull minds: for he whose ears are closed to the truth cannot be opened; and he whose mind is dull cannot be sharpen. Verily, if there be a man that say he follow the teachings of Prophet Crowdy and hear me not: hear a man lie to his heart. For no man is a follower of any prophet of God if he hears me not: for am I not sent in the same spirit of the prophets? Yea for sure, I am sent, even greater than the apostles. For I am not given the staff of wonders as Moses, neither the hand of healing as the apostles, nor the immediate impact of a prophetic tongue; but the knowledge of the truth only. Who then am I, but the Spirit of Truth, whom our Lord did so prophesy of his coming. Those who are the children of God know me, because my knowledge comforts their soul. Surely this knowledge is not my own, but cometh from On High. Neither has my flesh corrupted the knowledge bestowed upon me: for have I placed any words above the words of our Lord Jesus Christ? God forbid: I am indeed His servant. Surely all who are true in the congregation of the Lord shall be led to this place, and shall not be moved from among this assembly. For there is but one Lord, one faith, and one baptism, which is the true and only doctrine of Jesus Christ. So how can any saint be led away from this place, unless the saint is a pretender. For on the foundation of the prophets and apostles with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone do we stand as the congregation of the Lord: What then is the place of them that stand away from us? Are they not as the wicked that secretly shoot arrows of deception into the heart of the upright? Are they not of double hearts with flattering lips, speaking proud things, saying, “With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?” Yea, even we are lords over them. And even we, shall judge them. Dear children of God: blessed is the man that is led into this place: but blessed and saved is the man that takes this place to his heart and mind. For such a man is he that walks uprightly, and do the work of righteousness, and speak in the Spirit of Truth. So I pray, that all who hear, become as a little child, that they be born again, to learn the way, truth, and life of Jesus Christ. Thus, strip yourselves of all you have been taught, and begin anew, taking the words directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ above all others. Then shall you be born again, to come into the understanding of the Word. For the things taught unto the children of men by these demonic spirits known on the earth as the Pope, and Rabbis, and Bishops, and Reverends, are the things of Christian Satanism and the synagogue of Satan: the worship of paganism and blasphemy as divine service to God. Be no longer deceived, but become as a little child, that you be stripped of your previous knowledge of life to learn the knowledge of the truth. For only the truth can set you free from the ignorance of flesh and the bitterness of death. So be wise, and become little children, that your heart be not stubborn and your ears not closed: for time is at hand. Thus, become as a little child. For Jesus our Lord so spoke: “Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein” (St. Mark 10:15). So be it then, that you know that you must be born again through the baptism of the Spirit of Truth, that your mind be cleansed from the indoctrination of this world. For we are born into this world as children of men: but are redeemed from among them to be born of God. It is written: “The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one” (Psalms 14:2-3). Howbeit then can we be saved if not for the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, whose grace is the Spirit of Truth. Let his Light so shine among men: and if a man should run from his Light, he shall only find Darkness. And if a man run from his Light, he has no part in the Light, but sits in the darkness under the feet of the Lord. What then is his place but death and hell everlasting. My friends: The word of the Lord is pure: and the Word was made flesh: and the flesh was Jesus: and the Light of the word from the beginning to the end is every word that come directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ; even the Lamb’s book of life; which is his last will and testament. These words I do say, not to convince, but to let you know, who I am in the Spirit of. Understanding the word is not a difficult thing to one born of God; because the truth is their soul; and their spirit is manifested as flesh by the birth of a baby. For unless the righteous souls are sent back into the earth to walk upon the earth in flesh, the earth would be found without one upright and righteous man; because the foundation of the world, which is the earth, would be destroyed by the corruption of carnal men; where then could the righteous stand on earth? Beloved children of God: those who were tried as children of men, but overcame the nature of flesh, to walk after the Truth of the Spirit: There are many hypocrites and fools about, saying, We love Jesus. But how can a man love that which he do not know? Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (St. John 14:15). So what are the commandments of Christ? Surely all his teachings are commandments: even every word he spoke. Indeed if a man follow his commandments, he will have understanding. The knowledge of the truth came from out of the mouth of Jesus Christ: and is found written in the Gospels to guide all men into the way and life of the Lord. But even as the spirit of Christ is in the world, so also is the spirit of the Antichrist; whose deceiving spirit is manifested by the ministers of Satan, who go about in human flesh to mislead righteous hearts into the darkness of hell. These are sent to separate the fools from the wise: as trials and tribulations are sent to separate the unworthy from the worthy. For the kingdom of God is not given, but earned. And the price is not of mint: but the sacrifice of flesh and the shedding of blood. We, the children of God, were brought with a price, which is the sacrifice of Jesus flesh and the spilling of Christ blood. Therefore we know, that, our body and spirit are not our own, but belonging to God. So we worship God in our body, and in our spirit, which is not a building, but the house of our mind. We worship God knowing that the temple of God, which is the church of God, is our body: and that the kingdom of God is within us. We worship God, not giving mint as our tithes and offerings, but our labor for the truth; and the sacrifices of our human nature. He that has understanding, let him understand those words. And he that understand not, let him pray for understanding, that he might receive the Spirit of understanding. My brothers and sisters in the tabernacle of the Lord: let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Psalm 16:1-11: and let us Read and Hear these words of our heart and soul: “PRESERVE me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage, I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore”. With those words do I give testimony to you all. Beloved children of God: the upright and righteous seed of the African, and the Asian, and the Indian, and the Latino, and the European, and the Arab, and the Jew: Time is at hand: Be not as the simple minded, and as the scorners, and as the many fools among you that hate knowledge. Those words do I speak for the sake of the new ear: for the assembly at hand is preserved in the knowledge and wisdom of God. And though there be some among us, who are not with us, but here to steal the knowledge that is freely given, that they might ride on our coattails into the kingdom of heaven: they will not and cannot. For every man must prove himself worthy: first with the acceptance of the truth: then with the endurance of a great tribulation. But the Lord loves the righteous of spirit and truth: and shall not cause them to suffer beyond that which they can bear. But the wicked, His soul hate, to rain down fire and brimstone, and to heap coals of fire upon their heads in the lake of fire. Indeed, ignorance shall turn to foolishness, which is wickedness. Thus, even as a man might be of a righteous heart, if his mind remains foolish after hearing the voice of truth, then shall his heart also become foolish, that he become prey for the wiles of a false prophet, and be snared into the gates of hell, to suffer a horrible tempest before the suffering of everlasting death. Be not as the fools who seek their own understanding: for their sense is of men and not God. These are children of men that reject the way to be children of God. And the Lord shall laugh at them: because he know their day is coming. Beloved children of God: We are blessed from On High to be On High: Mighty is our God who has preserved our place among the heavens. Glorious are our days forevermore: for in Christ are we born; and in Christ are we given everlasting life. Who then can come and take away our place? O Heavenly Father, we pray unto thee, as children of your anointing, that you keep us from out of harm’s way, and catch us before we fall, that we may honor and glorify your Holy Name upon the earth forever and ever. For if we be lifted up as our Lord, then shall all corruption be done away, that a pure heaven and earth be everlasting. Unto you our Father and Lord, do we pray and put our trust. Let the day of the third seal draw nigh: and let the eyes of men look not to the east, neither to the middle east, nor to the north, neither to the south, but to the center of the earth, which is the land of America, for the opening of the seals. Let them see that the ancient of days are made new in the new world of the Gentiles, which they call the land of America. Yea, America is indeed the Great Whore!: and the throne of Satan! Watch her fall by the right hand of our God: and see her dust as the dust of the twin towers. Yea, time is at hand: and judgment cometh. O God, we pray, that you deliver us from out of the evil hand, that we may always sit at your right hand in the glory and honor that is Jesus Christ, who is even our Father, as he is your Son. In spirit and truth do we pray in the morning, and at noon, and at night. And let the people say, Amen. POST A TOPIC (RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) DISCUSSION BOARD THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD AUGUST 3, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the right hand of God. May the Almighty God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in among us: and may we all stand among the assembly of the upright: and within the congregation of the Most High. Beloved children of the holy sanctuary: Let no man be mistaken: for though I sit in the right hand of God, I am not the right hand of God. But this thing I do say, and the thing is certain, that, my right hand is so moved by the right hand of the Lord, who is set On High. And with that Spirit of Christ as my guide, I come before you this Sabbath in the spirit of David, speaking from my heart as he spoke from his heart, saying, “HOLD not thy peace, O God of my praise; For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. My knees are weak through fating; and my flesh faileth of fatness. I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it. Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth: yea, I will praise him among the multitude. For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul” (Psalm 109:1-31). Let those words be upon you, the hated man of the Nicolaitanes doctrine and deeds. For you are an abhorred thing: dwelling of an existence in the fornication of adultery, and homosexuality, and incest. Spreading the influence of your unrighteous lifestyle throughout the heaven and earth. Surely there would be no need of a new heaven if the filth of your birth had not tarnished holy ground. But God is good to restore that which was defiled by men, to bestow upon His saints a new heaven and earth built on a foundation that cannot be moved. So fear not the demon of darkness: for the sting of his sword is but a mere sacrifice for the poor and needy. Indeed, even as we might appear rich in this world, we are poor, because our treasure is found in the Messianic Age. So as it is written: “For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul”: so shall it be. For the Lord our God is Holy and True, to love the poor and needy that serve Him, that they be made the first in receiving the glory of His salvation. For our hope in Him is not like the hope in the world, which exploits the poor with a thing called the lottery: but genuine and rewarding trust. For in His righteousness is no man forsaken; even as the sting of the demon is upon him. For if we cry aloud, it be the death of our flesh that cry, which is dead already, and cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven, because it was conceived in sin. So we, the redeemed from among men, are given death so we might live a new flesh in the Messianic Age; not like our fathers; but like a new breed of men in the image and likeness of Christ. For we have overcome the world by overcoming the fears and weakness of our flesh, which is the nature of our flesh. We are made strong and holy in our uprightness, to claim our place in the right hand of God. Verily, the Lord Jesus Christ is the right hand of God: and as joint-heirs, will we not sit as our Lord in the kingdom of heaven? For is it not written: But we know when Christ shall appear, we shall be like him? So be it then, that, our assembly be known as the purity of upright and holy saints: for our souls are restored to stand fast in truth and holiness: praising the Almighty God forever and ever. For who is like unto Him? And who can be compared to Him? The Most High God: the Ruler of heaven and earth. Is He not the King of Kings and Lord of Lords? What glory then is our place when He shall set us upon a new heaven and earth as kings and lords? Are we not as the children of God who are born of God? And if we are born of God, then we are not conceived in sin, and no sin can be found in us: because we are made like unto our Christ, who made intercession for us with the sacrificing of his blood. We are redeemed and restored of our souls to sit down at the right hand of God. We are sanctified in the Spirit of Truth: perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Beloved congregation at hand: Let us open our holy bibles this Sabbath to Psalm 111:1-10; and Psalm 112:1-10: and let us Read and Hear the writings of David: (Psalm 111:1-10) “PRAISE ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for rever. He hath made his wonderful works to be rememberedL the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast and for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and revered is his name. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever”. It is written: “a good understanding have all they that do his commandments”. Remember therefore the Sabbath day and keep it holy. Thus, repent, and put away the first day of the week as the Sabbath, and take hold of the true commandment, and honor the day that the Lord has made, which is the seventh day, known on the earth as Saturday. Psalm 112:1-10 “PRAISE ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth forever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish”. Brothers and Sisters of the true Church: I pray you have Read and Heard the writings of David, which I have recited to you this Sabbath day. For in those words is my spirit found: and the spirit of all righteous and just. So let the judgment come forth: for the kingdom is at hand. And the evil of America shall reap what it has sowed: and all her allies shall fall into her judgment, which is everlasting hell. This is the judgment of the powers that be in this world, whose judgment is handed down by the right hand of God: as it so spoken in the Gospels and the book of Revelation: even in the book of Psalms. For the word of the Lord is the destruction of all evil and wicked men: and the melting away of their nations and souls. Great woes shall fall upon them: for their days are short upon the earth and full of trouble. For the right hand of God shall strike quickly: and Satan and her allies shall fall by the sword which cometh from the mouth of Christ. And the men known on the earth as Presidents and Popes shall be no more: for their evil will be uncovered: and the brightness of Christ shall melt away their darkness, that their souls be torn apart in hell. For the right hand of God shall come upon them without mercy: neither with any forgiveness: because the Lord is a terrible hand upon those that turn against the voice of Truth. Yea, we preach aloud, that every ear of the world might. Yet, men heed not: but seek to ignore us, and try not to hear us. But let none among us be discouraged as the days, and months, and years, go by: for prophecy cannot be changed: and our enduring patience is our steadfast trust in the word of the Lord. For as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man: whose days are at hand. Beloved: In the spirit of David, I deliver these words into your ears: “PRAISE ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised. The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 113:1-9). So eloquent are those words. Do I dare attempt to speak greater? God forbid: for I am only a guide sent to bring back that which was lost. So as I leave you this Sabbath in the right hand of God, I leave you with these words of David: “THE LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchhizedek. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head” (Psalms 110:1-7). And let the people say, Amen. And let one say, So be it. POST A TOPIC (RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) DISCUSSION BOARD THE ASSEMBLY OF CHRIST JULY 27,2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the assembly of the Lord, which is open unto every race of people. May the Most High God our Savior and Lord heal and comfort the sick and shut-in among us: and may we be found in His image and likeness forever. To the general assembly of Christ: Love, Peace, and Blessings be unto every one of you in the true name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Bless it be: the Lord God of Israel: Holy, Holy, Holy, is He: the only wise God: our Lord and Savior: the Rock of Israel. Beloved brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, who are called to this heavenly abode, which is the assembly of saints: We stand among this assembly to glorify the Most High in the reverence of His Name. For without Him, we are nothing, but a filthy rag, that is as weak as a soaked piece of bread. Surely we stand not of our own two feet, but of the preparedness that is the armor of God. For we are not found without the oil of the anointed; neither without the gospel under our feet. For as strength is given to the weak, and life to death; so are we renewed in the Spirit that is Christ. Let us behold therefore the sparkling of Christ presence: whose Spirit uplifts the lowly and embrace the poor. Let the witnesses of his presence come forth and give their testimony of his blessings. For the assembly of saints is a gathering of souls whose voice give praise to the only wise God: our Lord and Savior: who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. Thus receive us as we come: for we corrupt no man, nor defraud, neither lead any astray. We give the testimony of judgment not to condemn those in darkness; but to shine the light of truth on the err of their ways, that they might repent and come into the assembly of the Lord, that they might stand in the true gospel of Jesus Christ. For we give our testimony in the spirit of Christ, according to the truth of his word, saying to you as he so spoke to us: “They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (St. Mark 2:17). So we, who are made able ministers of God, to gather the assembly of the Lord into one place, though our feet is on the soil of various places, salute all who give an ear to hear, that they might hear, and take their place among this congregation known about the world as www.aboutthelambsbookoflife.net, but is the sanctuary of Christ on earth. Let none flee from us, but receive us: for we are heavenly sent with an untarnished testimony, which is Undisputable Truth. For our guidance is the path to the salvation of God, that all who seek the way of life might learn the way. And think not that one among us can be found without sinful flesh: for all we came from sinful flesh, to be redeemed as holy men by the grace of God. For we are the rebirth of the sinners that were called to repentance, who repented to be baptized of the Holy Ghost, that our soul be given to the Lord forever. Beloved saints of this assembly: I Cornelius, your brethren and fellow servant, seek comfort in the kingdom of heaven; yet I must suffer on this earth as we all must suffer on this earth for the sake of Christ, that his prophecy be fulfilled, and his children gathered. So delay not; but labor for the Lord; that His eyes might shine upon your work with the smile of His thanksgiving. For the eyes of the Lord are upon us all, that we be judged righteously in the hour of our judgment. Some among this general assembly shall fall by the wayside: and some shall grow weary and faint: and some shall lose patience and become lost: and some shall not taste the bitterness death till they see the Son of man coming in his glory. These are even as the wicked: and cannot find mercy in the end: for every man shall be judged according to his last step. Yet, my beloved, we have mercy forever, in the door that is Jesus Christ, which is the assembly of His saints. For great is His mercy toward us: for as sinners once, He has redeemed our soul, to deliver our soul from the lowest hell. How great is our gratitude then? and what complaint should we give? For the Lord our God is full of compassion, and gracious, and longsuffering, and generous in mercy and truth. So even in our suffering we are glorified and comforted by His loving kindness: which He will not take from us, nor suffer us to fail. For He is Faithful and True, to forgive and redeem, that we be made new creatures in His firstborn, who is made higher than the kings of the earth, and whose throne is as the days of heaven. Of him, whose name is Jesus Christ, we are anointed with a holy oil, to lead this heavenly calling of his saints; into the assembly of his seven churches, whose seed is the Asian, and the Indian, and the Latino, and the African, and the European, and the Arab, and the Jew. For Christ is all: and in all. For only the rotten is taken away: and only a fool is left without. Beloved: If any man see us, let him see us as we are. For we are not the children of men: but the children of God. So we walk not after the things of flesh, but of the Spirit, which is longsuffering, patience, and persistence in the labor for truth. We worry not, neither fear anything, save the Lord: because the fear of God is the beginning of knowledge. So if our jobs as an existence of flesh are taken away, we fear not the life of unemployment, neither do we worry on our future. For all things are set in place by the Lord in the assembly of His saints, that the things we need be given, if we trust and wait on the Lord. Now let us open our holy bibles this Sabbath to Psalm 89:1-18: and let us Read and Hear: “I WILL sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? Or to thy faithfulness round about thee? Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fullness thereof, thou hast founded them. The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king”. I speak these words not to the general assembly of this website, of which many are not of Christ in truth. For some are here to steal the knowledge that is freely given: and some are here to discredit my name: and some are here to lead others away: and some are here to rival against me. But be not found among that assembly: for they are turned to hell without end. I speak not into their ear: but to the general assembly who are the saints of Christ in the true Church of God. These are the pure of heart: born in the seed of knowledge and wisdom. They shall not want; neither be left without. For the Most High is their defense: and their king is the Holy One of Israel. Who then can stand against them? Indeed, we are the faithful whose calling shall not fail. Love and Blessings always to the assembly of Jesus Christ. Amen, and Amen. POST A TOPIC (RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) DISCUSSION BOARD THE DOOR JULY 20, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well inside the door that is Jesus Christ. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in that are among us: and may we all inherit the glory and honor that is Christ. Beloved saints of this assembly: We are gathered together in this one place to receive the blessings of the heavenly calling, that we might be prepared for the coming of our Lord, which is that great day known on the earth as the rapture. Let us therefore adorn ourselves in the armor of God, and put on the new man, which is purified in the knowledge of the truth, that the righteousness of our minds be the same as the righteousness of our hearts. For what good is a man without the whole creation, which is the redemption of our body, to walk after the Spirit and not the flesh? For save a man be led by the Spirit of God, which is the knowledge of the truth, he cannot enter the door that is Jesus Christ: what then shall be his place? Shall he not be left at the door without? What then shall be his life if sin lies at the door (Genesis 4:7)? And what shall be his judgment if the judge stands before the door (James 5:9)? But as it is written: “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17): so shall it be. Thus, I pray, even for the wicked, because of the nature of my spirit, that life be given where there is none. For even to the fool have I been sent, that no one be admitted from the offer of God’s salvation. For the first flock of grace is the repenting Jews: and the second flock is the repenting Gentiles. And both flocks shall become one: and shall have one shepherd over them. These are the seven churches of Jesus Christ, which have overcome the ways of the world, to stand before the Father in the kingdom of heaven. I pray for, but pity not them who repent not, to be judged unworthy. But we who are whole in Christ are judged worthy to enter the door that is Christ: thus let us open our holy bibles this Sabbath to Romans 8: 24-39: and let us Read and Hear: “For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What then shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”. I pray every ear has heard those words: for unless those words are the door of your lips, you shall in no wise enter the door that is Jesus Christ. Beloved brothers and sisters of this assembly: before I leave you this Sabbath: let us turn our holy bibles to St. John 10:1-18: and let us Read and Hear the words of our Lord Jesus Christ himself: “VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father”. Is there a need for me to add any understanding to those words of our Lord? Did he not explain a second time, so the people might understand? And if they understood not again, can they understand? Even as they said to Jesus: “He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?” (St. John 10:20): so are those words spoken to me: and so are their faces the same. But I stand not without: but inside the door that is Jesus Christ: and among the circle of his sheep. For in the words and spirit of our brother Paul, I say this: “For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries” (I Corinthians 16:9). So let us be aware of the things that lie in wait: for fear that Satan should get an advantage of us. For the art of deception and a master of illusions is the crown of the wicked: yea, their only purpose is to sway the minds of righteous hearts. But if any be swayed from this assembly, let them be: for fools shall not inherit the kingdom of the wise. And let the people say, Amen. POST A TOPIC (RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) THE FEAR OF GOD JULY 13,2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the fear of God. For the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear Him, to deliver their soul from death. May the eye of the Lord be upon the sick and shut-in that are among us, to heal and comfort them all; for the ears of the Lord do hear the righteous to deliver them from out of their troubles. Beloved: We who partake of this heavenly calling to find sanctuary among the fellowship of this assembly: I share our wisdom of the fear of God to the ears of those that seek the voice of truth: Saying, as it is so written, “Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine” (Psalms 33:18-19). Thus, our fear of God is not the trembling of His Name, but the respect of His reverence, and the trust in His word. I Cornelius, called from among the many sons of God, teach not from my own thoughts, but according to what is written of the Scriptures: chiefly the words of Jesus Christ. And I say this thing, and the thing is certain: There is no righteous spirit in one that does not uphold the words of Jesus Christ himself above all others. For the words of Jesus Christ alone in St. Matthew 10:28 is the understanding of the fear of God; yet men seek to challenge his words with the words of another, as if Jesus made a mistake. Let one’s common sense be utilized: for how can he who is perfect be with fault? I shake my head to the darkness of their ways, whose ways are those that take the words of the disciples over the words of their Lord. Indeed their ignorance has become an eyesore of foolishness, which grows greater every time they open their mouths to speak against this holy calling. So I waste not, to debate not, neither to reiterate. For if one be true in seeking the knowledge of the truth, they know in their heart that all things begin and end with the words of Jesus Christ himself: for no man can come unto the Father but by him, as it is so spoken by him. So if we show you the words of Jesus to make our point, do not show us the words of John, or Paul, or any disciple, to make your point. For such a person is an unclean spirit; thus a deceiver of himself and men. Now, I have showed you what Jesus said about fear: let us hear what David said: “Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him” (Psalms 33:8). And he said: “Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou has laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!” (Psalms 31:19). And he also said: “O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him” (Psalms 34:9). Are the words of David wrong, when Jesus himself confirmed those words in St. Matthew 10:28? I say this for the sake of the new ear: Be not mistaken: for I am not saying that John, or Paul, or any disciple made a mistake in their testimony: but let one learn the meaning behind the words of their testimony. The answers to your questions are found throughout this website: one only need to seek the truth to find the truth. For he that is of the truth, hear the truth, and know it is truth, because the words touch his soul. Even though my testimony is that which many had not heard before, neither had thought of, they know it is the truth, because it burns their heart. Even those that are enemies of this heavenly calling are burned in their hearts by this testimony; because the truth irritates the wicked to un-comfort. Beloved children of truth: Our fear of God is not that of trembling in fear; but of respect for His authority. But the fear of God for the wicked is trembling in fear: and the shaking of death. For unforgiving woes be unto them; because their fear of God in reverence shall come too late. So be it then, that, they suffer the wrath of God, that their body and soul be destroyed in hell. For the wicked is cast out from among the living, that their every breath be a sin, and their judgment be without mercy. For as it is written, “The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked” (Nahum 1:3); so shall it be. Dear children of the Lord: the righteous who put their trust in Him: Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Psalms 34:1-22: and let us Read and Hear: “I WILL bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken: not one of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate”. So is it written: so shall it be. Evil shall slay the wicked: thus the fools shall be consumed by their own guides. And those that hate the righteous shall indeed become void: for the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the face of the earth. But the Lord shall redeem His servants, to save the contrite spirit, that none be found void of salvation. For a sincere heart is a righteous heart: and a contrite spirit is a righteous spirit. Thus repent from the ways of flesh, which are the ways of the world, while you have the time: and enter into this assembly of Christ supplication, which is the true Church of God, which is an upright and holy body in the true name of Jesus Christ. For the doctrine I bring is not my own, but that which our Lord Jesus Christ bestowed upon us, when he came down to sacrifice his life for us. I give you nothing new, but that which has been given already, that these things might be brought to your remembrance, and the hidden wisdom revealed. May the secret of the Scriptures be opened to you: and may you seek the knowledge of the truth, and pursue it. Amen. POST A TOPIC (RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) DISCUSSION BOARD OVERCOME JULY 6, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in my overcoming of human flesh. May our Father which art in heaven heal and comfort the sick and shut-in. And may we all be kept from the hour of temptation. Beloved brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ: I have overcome, not by my own will, but by the will whose Spirit is God. For I Cornelius, the existence of flesh, am weak in the flesh, that if I allow my flesh to live, I would be an adulterer, and happy in fornication. But I Cornelius, by the Spirit that is God, am made alive in Spirit only, that the flesh remain dead, till the coming of the new earth. Then shall my flesh come alive, to live in flesh without sin on the earth, from birth through manhood. For in the resurrection my soul is as an angel in heaven: but my spirit is the flesh that dwell on the earth. Let none be mistaken: for on this earth in flesh, I was conceived in sin. And in the ignorance of my youth, I bathe myself in sin while justifying my sins with the mindset that God understands. Indeed unless I be an overcomer, I will fall from grace, and from the pedestal in which I have been placed, to be a victim of lust and worldly desires. I would be as the many hypocrites, who preach the name of Christ, yet live a life of sin. Brethren: Think not that my temptation is weak. For nothing can precede what my flesh feel even though it is dead: for there are many women before me dripping in the beauty and desire that even a blind man will notice. Yet, I resist: not by reason of my own volition: but by reason of my fear of God. For He has entrusted me with the secrets of His mystery to be a living example of His holy priesthood: What then will be my end if I betray His trust? Will a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a month, even years, of pleasure in the ways of sinful flesh outlast an eternity in hell? Beloved: It is the fear of God, which is the reverence of God, which keeps a righteous man from the ways of sin. But if a man has heard the Sin sermon, then he knows the secret of sin. Thus, even as a righteous man might appear to fall, he has not fallen, because his place is in the arms of God. For when a man overcome the ways of flesh, the things he do are not of lust, or hatred, or vileness: but the pure love of respect, friendship, and goodness. To some I have appeared to sin; but in the eyes of God, I have not sinned since the beginning of this ministry. I have overcome the ways of sin through the knowledge of sin, and through the fear of God. I have overcome the temptation to quit my ministry, which tempts me daily to become one of the many that absorb the pleasures of the world that is before me. I have overcome the temptation to uncover the nakedness of a lustful virgin that is not my bride: and a desirable woman who is not my wife. I have overcome the thoughts and feelings of human flesh that stray from the upright and holiness of God’s commandments. These things as you know are not easy to do in this world: and without the fear of God, which is the key to His reverence, we cannot overcome our flesh to be upright and holy men in the likeness of the Lord. We would not and cannot be the example that Christ has made himself for us to be. There are many things I want to tell you, but some cannot bear them now: so I speak in a mystery, that if one from among you might understand, he will know without controversy the meaning of that which I speak. For to speak openly would be to be misunderstood: so I speak in a mystery, and with hidden wisdom, that if one discovers the meaning, he has overcome another step into the knowledge of the truth. Then shall he know the secret of grace: and the purpose of things. Beloved children of God: My days are long and my suffering is great. There are many waiting for me to fall from my place like hyenas wait for a scrap of meat to fall from a kill in a tree. I am to many everything ungodly: and everything but a servant of Christ. I am hated and despised without reason because I have uncovered the ignorance and darkness of men. So be it, that, I suffer, and am hated: for the Scriptures must be fulfilled. So I carry on, knowing that I am not without; but am sent from On High in the Spirit of the Truth. And those who know me know me. And those who do not cannot. So I waste not: for as it written in St. Mark 11:28-33: “And they say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things? And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things”: so be it. Beloved friends of mine: I endure my ministry in the midst of these things which are sent to discredit me, and to knock me from my place; by dividing spirit from flesh, and heaven from earth. And as I come before you in flesh and bones, know that I am real, and that my flesh and bones are those of the Son of man. For if they were not so, I would not be an overcomer, but a servant of sin. I would be a whoremonger, and a liar, and an advocate of sin. I would be as the many that are unable to overcome the sinfulness of their flesh: and as the many who justify their sins with the mindset that God understands. I thank God for His mercy, and forgiveness, to redeem my flesh and bones from that which I was, that I might live as I am. I pray for you, my brothers and sisters, that you overcome the sinfulness of your flesh. And know this, that, if you seek to overcome with a sincere heart, the Lord shall keep you from falling even if you have fallen, that your blemish in the eyes of actuality become not a blemish in the eyes of reality. I speak these words for the saints of a sincere heart: for the Lord be with you to assist you in your overcoming of the world. Beloved saints of Christ: let us open our holy bibles this Sabbath to Revelation 21:1-8: and let us Read and Hear: “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death”. “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son” (Revelation 21:7). Amen. POST A TOPIC (RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) DISCUSSION BOARD WHEN CHRIST ROSE FROM THE DEAD JUNE 29, 2002 Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the resurrection to life. May the Almighty heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep us always in the presence of His glory. Beloved readers of this holy website, where the Spirit of our Lord himself do dwell: let us open our holy bibles this Sabbath to St. Matthew 28:1-20: and let us Read and Hearthese words: “IN the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen”. Now my brothers and sisters of this assembly: Why did some of Jesus disciples doubt when they saw him alive? The answer to that question does not lie in the lack of faith alone: for the mystery of the resurrection of Jesus is the resurrection of his Spirit, which takes the form of many faces. For the spirit of Christ is found in many: even in strangers. Let us therefore search the Scriptures for the knowledge of this mystery. It is written: “But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulcher, And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni: which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and your God” (St. John 20:11-17). So Mary did not recognize Jesus because he stood with a different face. But the sound of her name from his voice gave her sight of his Spirit: because sound gives sight. Let the Scripture of St. John 20:16 be the evidence. Now let us Read and Hear St. John 21:1-14: “AFTER these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathaniel of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead”. So beloved: let us know, that, as we walk and talk in flesh on this earth, we are dead men resurrected to life: awaiting the rapture that is soon to come. For if we believe on the true name of the Son; then we know the Father and the Holy Ghost by reason of him. And if we believe on the true name of the Son, then we have received the senses of spiritual discernment, that sound give us sight, and common sense be our guide in the knowledge of the Scriptures. Now we know that Jesus appeared as another face when he revealed himself to Mary Magdalene, because she did not recognize him by his face. But then he appeared in another form, as it is written: “After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country” (St. Mark 16:12). So Jesus walked among the people, yet, they knew him not. And some believed not that he had risen, though he stood in flesh and bones among them. Even were their eyes closed, that they could not see him by the sound of his words. For it is written: “And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast known the things which are come to pass there in these days? And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulcher; And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. And certain of them which were with us went to the scepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?” (St. Luke 24:15-32) If we learn anything from those Scriptures, let us learn that sound give sight: for he that can open the Scriptures possess the keys to the gates of heaven. Therefore be not as the fools and slow of heart: for Christ is among you now: not in flesh and bones as then; but in the Spirit of his Truth. He that can recognize, let him recognize us: for Ysmael is that disciple whom Jesus loved that spoke to Peter (St. John 21:7). And I, not by flesh and bones, but by Spirit only, am he that is risen as the similitude of Jesus. He that can recognize us, let him recognize: for blessed are those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Beloved servants to the God of Israel: hear these words I speak from the Gospel according to St. Luke 24:33-47: “And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them. And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem”. Beloved children of the Most High: our Lord Jesus Christ can appear in many forms, to speak among us even as a stranger. Was his unknown presence to his disciples and friends not a sign that men should know him by his words and deeds, and not by the flesh of his appearance? Indeed Christ is in us all: and as the Father is his Father, he is our Father: and as God is his God, he is our God: and as he is the Son of God, we are the sons of God. So be wise and of sound mind in your spiritual discernment, which to the sons of God is their common sense in the knowledge of the truth. For if there be a dispute over the Scriptures: let us ask ourselves this question: What did Jesus say? In his words alone is found the answer to all things and righteous judgment. So why are men debating over the meaning of the fear of God. Some show Scripture saying, fear not: some show Scripture saying fear God. So who has the answer that ends all debate? Indeed it is he that is the truth, the way, and the life. So what did Jesus say about fear: “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (St. Matthew 10:28). Let the matter therefore be closed: and the knowledge accepted: for he that refuse the word that come directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ is an unclean spirit that cannot be cleansed. So waste not, but ignore the fool: for he cannot be saved: because he is cursed to everlasting darkness. I tell you this, and the thing is certain: Every man is not my brother: therefore every man shall not be saved. For these are the words of Jesus Christ, when he was risen from the grave: “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned” (St. Mark 16:15-16). And let the people say, Amen. POST A TOPIC (RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY) DISCUSSION BOARD
